These auto harps sell from as low as $20 to as high as $400 depending on the model and condition.
I just recently purchased a 1967 Oscar Schmidt "Airline" model (36 string, 15 cord) from the original owner who rarely used it for under $100 with case, adjusting tool and original books. I looks brand new and is in factory new condition.
I have seen some similar to this for $200 to $300.
Bottom line is it depends on how much you think it is worth and how long you're willing to wait for the right buyer.
Personally, if it is in good shape I would ask no less than $100 for it but would not plan on more than $250 at best.

I have an OS15B ser.#900656 and it is a 100th anniversary 1979 so I would guess it's a 1979 because of the 9 digit and must be early 79 #2 that year...
