I also have a GSC-1 that I got from a surplus equipment seller many ( many ) years ago. He was selling the keys off one by one, which was more lucrative. ( And sad to say, maybe still is... )
I got it with maybe 4 keys left and bought a couple more - if I remember - before it came to me that as I wasn't really planning on keeping it, buying more keys at the usual selling prices was a losing
proposition. About close to 20 years ago I put it up for sale - on Ebay or off Ebay, I don't remember now, really - but when the price seemed it was going to be, was $75, I cancelled the sale. 
I still have the set, in storage, and this year I finally must do something about it. I thought it was kind of a neat collectible, but the market apparently doesn't agree.  I will not sell it for less than the 
value of the keys. Maybe I'll have to donate it to a museum. 
I have now in my van a wooden box for the Army's code training device, I think called "Oscillotone" or something like that, and by McElroy company, if I'm not mistaken. The wooden box has dividers
for the tone sender and the keys, so it doesn't lend itself to use an OD storage box. So I'm thinking I'll put it on Ebay, which is a long shot maybe, and if it doesn't sell, it gets dumped.

Also noticed that the RAX that was mentioned here as being on sale at Epay, was sold, but now is relisited again,  Guess somebody changed their mind.
