Price is very difficult on an item like this, and of course a thing is only
worth as much as someone else will pay for it. I too have a Weston 877, in
excellent condition for which I paid nothing. It works perfectly, with its
limitation and is a very interesting period piece. I don't know the date of
manufacture of the 877 but it looks to be from the 40s or 50s. I would not
pay $200 for one, but I certainly would not sell it for $20. All
considering I believe something over $100 is in the ballpark, if for no
other reason than collection value.
