Hi-
It is thought to be circa 1910 and many sellers claim it was made to look like Ty Cobb. I have seen ones in better shape than the one you posted sell at flea markets and antique shops around 200.00. I think one in amazing condition would sell for close to 1000.00. I have no idea where the circa 1910 comes from or the Cobb resemblance (extremely slight in my opinion) but these descriptions accompany almost every example I see for sale.
I am not an expert in this so my values may be out of whack but should provide a little guidance. In the condition you posted if you can buy it for less than 75.00 it is a good price.
Good Luck,
Alan
