I am curious about the worth of some lead type I fell into recently.

It came in a vintage cardboard box manufactured by Gevaert. There are body type, brass rules, borders, corners, etc. all in the box. Included are two fonts. They appear to be Aristocrat pica or maybe 14 pt. 8A 23a, and Times pica or maybe 14 pt. 12A and 22a. All punctuation is there, numbers, letters, everything. I have a couple potential buyers for this, but wish to have an idea of its worth before transacting a sale. If anyone has any ideas, please post them. Thanks a bunch!!!

P.S. I am a printmaker, but do not own, or care to own a press of my own. I am also still learning the terminologies associated with letterpress in particular.
