I guess my question is: Would this be a collectors item? ...and why or why not?

There are a few old threads running around that discuss these. Here is one of them.
"It's comparable to playing a cheese slicer."

"Bargain instruments are no bargains if you can't play them"
--J. Garber
I have a beautiful example of a 1937 LC guitar. I have played the LC mandolins years ago but was not all that impressed back then. Then again 1930's Gibsons never appealed that much to me. Collectible yes.
