Can't tell you the year but if it is playable (the neck joint on these are prone to movement) I would guess $100-200.

Have it checked by a luthier who knows mandolins.

My Kay cost just under $200, including a case, in 1979. I still have it, and play it. I get lots of nice comments on its action and tone.
