To answer that question you'd need to find a market for it. Then you'd
need to publicize it within that market, after finding sold prices of
commensurate items.

For instance, if you were selling a domain name (like I do), you'd look
at https://dnjournal.com/ytd-sales-charts.htm , and then find a way 
to get the word out to the right people.

If you have a receipt and any other supporting paperwork, for gosh
sakes keep it.

This is a Steve Litt hunch...

Time is your friend. IMHO for the next 50 to 100 years the market value
of your box, assuming it stays in pristine shape, will get better and
better. Once you determine a reasonable market price, don't let anyone
lowball you.
