[CW] McElroy "Deluxe Stream" straight key

McElroy Chrome "Deluxe Stream" Straight key 

It says "Radio-Telegraph Key - Deluxe Model - 
Stream.Mac" on a label on one side.  The other
side has a label that says "Manufactured by 
T.R. McElroy, Boston, Mass. USA".  It has a 
"tear drop" shaped base (sort of an oval, but 
elongated).  It has a shorting switch included, 
and a navy knob, and is on a very heavy metal 
base plate (possible brass, but I am not sure), 
with a felt pad on the bottom.  It has very nice 
action. It may be that the key was one item, 
and it was mounted on the heavy metal base 
plate by a user.  It also has a rubber covered 
cord on it, terminated in a real military type 
PL-055 B, brass, 1/4 inch plug.

Does anyone have any idea what it might be worth?
I have searched the internet, and find the regular
McElroy "Stream Key", but not the deluxe chrome
model.  This one is for sale, but I do not know
what I should ask for it.  Any Help?

Thanks.
