    I am starting an ebay auction on this piece tonight . It measures about 14 1/2" by 8 1/2". I've only been able to find one other of these - in the Smithsonian. Of course that doesn't mean it's worth anything. I have it starting at $99. Is this too little? Too much? I don't want to put a reserve on it.

    No, I mean the one in the Museum of History is the same one as the Smithsonian - on loan or something.

    The National Museum of American History is part of the Smithsonian. They have several museums... just FYI!
