Hello Terry.
Basically a nice looking item, though some accessories are missing, a couple may not belong to the set itself and it’s hard to tell from the photos but the morse key socket looks like it might have a broken key plug sticking out of it. Pricing it will depend on how complete it is internally and if it works. A general rule of thumb is the lowest price goes for a set that looks complete externally but does not work at all. These are usually just wanted by someone to either fill a hole in a collection, or a vehicle. Price goes up if the set looks good externally and at least the intercom circuit still works. These sets are needed by AFV collectors who plan to operate their vehicles. To do so, they must have a working communications system among the crew members to operate the vehicle safely. At the top of the scale is a good looking 19-Set that is fully operational. It will fit in any of the other two categories but with a licensed amateur radio operator on hand, it is the sort of thing at a vehicle or military show, kids line up for hours to ‘work the set’. That’s about all I can say at this point, Terry, other than to add these sets are heavy to ship and that can influence pricing, or the willingness to purchase. David

A set like that can bring around $1000 but on the other hand I bought a working complete set off ebay for $100. I guess it's a matter of what you can get for it!

The box on top is a Fullerphone, not used with a ws19. The headset & mic look to be from a remote control unit as they are separated items. The aerial is from something else.
On the plus side it looks to be a fairly good truck setup. The handles allow for dismount use. All the basics are there such as control box, variometer, cables and most important, the grills. They can be pricey themselves. As suggested it's not something you can pop into the mail. P/U will restrict buyers. Perhaps attend a local militaria show and bring it along. Having sat for a time it will need some care in powering up. Have a look at ebay sold prices. They can give you an idea of value but usually at the higher end.
