That one is from around '49-'50. It's no older than '49, since it has a 45 rpm record changer. In '50-'51, they went to a plastic tonearm on the 45 rpm changers.

The biggest thing that's going to hurt when trying to sell this is it's physical size. It's too big to economically ship and your biggest hope is to find someone local who is interested. As far as price, it could bring from $5-on up. It will depend on the condition of the cabinet, the completeness of the chassis, and the condition of the CRT (picture tube). If everything checks out and you find a collector who is close enough, you could probably get between $50-$75 for it. If there are serious issues, the value will be much less.

One word of caution I'll give you is DO NOT plug in this TV! There are internal components that fail from simply sitting unused for decades and if you power it up now, you could very well burn up an expensive and NLA part, such as a transformer. Best to let an interested TV collector check it out and then go from there.
