Default Looking for info on SB Weber Cobra manifold

Guys,

I went with my dad tonight to look at some vintage go-kart parts that a guy in Frisco, TX was selling for his widow neighbor (I guess the husband recently passed from cancer). This guy had one of the most eccentric collection of vintage karts, kart parts, Jaguars, Ferrari parts, Bugatti mini type 52 pedal cars, and more stuff than you can imagine. This poor guy was tasked of sorting thru all of this stuff for this poor lady and was trying to sell it off piece by piece.

One of the items he pulled off the shelf to show me was an original small block manifold set up for Webers with the "Cobra" lettering down the center lengthwise towards one end. He asked if I knew what it would be worth and I said I didn't know but would ask y'all if you could give me a ballpark range. It was in good shape and not corroded/oxidized at all (it looked like something kept in garage for 30+ years on a shelf). Unfortunately I didn't get a pix of it.

If anyone can give me an idea of what it's worth or would want more info please pm me and I can get you this guys number.

Note - I'm not interested in just turning someone loose on him to buy it just to flip/resale on eBay at higher price. This guy is doing a huge favor for a long time neighbor who just lost her husband and he has already been gouged by slimeballs on the vintage kart site by guys low balling him on stuff only to realist them on eBay.
