Peter:

This pair is beautiful, and it is very rare to find a pair in such nice condition, with the boxes and papers, after all these years.

The plastic ones are difficult to value. Normally, I would value the plastic pairs at approximately one-half (1/2) to two-thirds (2/3) the value of the metal pairs. So if we are seeing the nice matal Rally-Master pairs in the $3,500 range, this would suggest something in the range of $1,800 to $2,300. Add some premium for the beautiful condition and the "time capsule" box, papers, and screws; then deduct something for the fact that the Master Time is the 24-hour version and because there is no double back-plate. Put all this together, and my best guess is that this pair would sell for something around $2,500 in the current market.

As I mentioned, we don't see many of these, and the thin market makes it very difficult to estimate prices.

Enjoy the pair, and good luck if you decide to sell it.
