I have seen similar types before. I do not think they are highly sought after or bring much. More like a toy collector would want, I think.

Here is one that is very similar but in green in an upcoming auction http://auctions.tdown.ca/pictures.asp?id=42&offset=100

They advertise it as a magic lantern so this should take the magic lantern slides. I would search for magic lantern collectibles to see if there is a demand for this model.
