Everything has some value....if you are buying to sell on...then you have to look at more of the same....and whatever ones similar to this have sold for...may give you an indication..as to what you can expect it to sell for ...its only worth what someones prepared to pay....me personally..if i was in the market for such an item..i would be looking for a real silver one...and not a plated one...furthermore.. .the price this one is sitting at...if it was me...i,d let this one go...and use the info for future purchasing...becaus e after all, this is not the only one on the planet
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

IF you get it for the current bid...it is a great price..if it is silverplate. (even with s/h).
If you are buying it to turn it over and make $$$  I would pass.

Interesting that it has a ring on it when it is this size!

      I personally would pass on items like this not enough info to make a buying call.  Overall these are not worth much at all, looking at the brush overall it looks Mid Century at best in age, and these are pretty easy to come by.  I have attempted many times at work to sell complete silverplated vanity set starting bids at 9.99 and 50 % chance of sale, and I could go to the floor and get one occassionally for 4.99.  To get more then that you will need the maker and cir at least and pray it does not say Godinger on it  ;D   anyway I see $5.00 in value and a 25 % chance of selling that item on ebay for more then that.
