One way to find out is put it on ebay with a 5 million dollar reserve and see what people bid on it. That costs you about 2 bucks. You can take it to the antiques road show. That costs you , what? 30 bucks? You can hire an appraiser, that can cost serveral hundred bucks. You can take it to a museum, that's maybe free if someone will talk to you.
