The value of anything depends a great deal on the overall condition and how well it is working.
Your machines looks kinda 'beat up' but pictures do not always tell the whole story.
Does the machine run properly?
Does it need servicing?
From what I've found it appears this machine was made in the 60's but you should contact some of the forums to find out more.
Here are some sites you can join and ask for help. They will want good pictures of full machine (all around) to be able to help you.

From what I have seen on eBay, these are in the $200 range. There is an unproven theory that if you hold your cell phone up to the machine and lose your signal, that means the machine contains mercury.
Here is an interesting article about red mercury in sewing machines: www.reuters.com/
There was one on Etsy , like this one that sold in January for over $400. - www.etsy.com/
