Let's see. You own a VHE 28 on a 00 frame that was originally purchased by the daughter-in-law of John Jacob Astor. Then owned by another luminary of New England's industrial history.
It's in darn good condition for its age. It's in what is most likely its original case, which is also in darn good condition for its age.
My bet is that if you take this gun and its provenance to an auction house like Cowan's you'll end up getting a lot more than 5K for it. Just my opinion...
