Found this clearing out storage.
Tried to ID via google, not able to conclusively do so. Is it a Model C? Looks
at least a little like one. Is it worth anything or should I scrap it? Seems
too heavy to ship it reasonably.
Thanks if you have any ideas.

It's definitely a Model C. See photos here:

I'd definitely take it if it was a Model B as that was what was used on
the PDP-1 for a console typewriter (modified of course). The 'C' is a
different styling than the B.
Worth keeping? To someone I'm sure. Was it ever used as the console for
any computers?
