Open C Campy shifters

I was once told that to these campagnolo shifters are rare. I heard they're from the 50s. The C in campagnolo is open. See the picture. Wondering what they are worth for a pair.

These levers would be paired with the clamps that use the black oxide backing plates with the cable stop port, all metal internals, small text on outer compression washer AND a screw, no ringed bolt.
They are marketable, not everyone will go into the minute detail.
$20 a left and right pair would find a buyer I think. Beyond that?

Agree with this sentiment. Ebay is a wonderful research tool for establishing baseline values, and that's where I always go to get an idea of what the old stuff is going for. I also, from time to time, check to see what kinds of prices Boulder Bicycle has up on their website. Sometimes their pricing seems spot-on, other times bscene - but Ebay does the best job because it represents a global marketplace. I can list my "widget" for $100 tomorrow, but it's not worth that until somebody pays the asking price.

eBay is a great resource but sometimes things sell for super low or high prices for no apparent reason so definitely use an average.
