Subject: [Leica] Leica standard (1932) valuation

I just received a box of some old Leica stuff that an elderly family 
friend, whose father bought the camera in or near Wetzlar in 1932, 
wants me to deal with.

It includes a Leica standard, SN 102--- (I can't quite make out the 
rest as it is under a shim that has been attached under the accessory 
shoe to raise said shoe). Shutter seems OK, even though it probably 
hasn't been used in 25 years and never been CLA'd. 60% of all the 
edges have brass showing through the black paint. No dings. Tiny bit 
of vulcanite in one corner missing.

Leather ER case in reasonable but well used condition.

A nickel, uncoated Elmar #152180, tiny spot of fungus on the inside 
on one surface, otherwise EXC

A chrome FOKOS rangefinder, EXC+

Chrome Leicameter MC (in worn original box) with ding in one corner, 
but seems to work accurately.

Gossen Sixtus meter in leather case which shows some life in the 
cell, but not really functional.

Could anybody here give me an idea what these things are worth? I 
will probably be selling these items for her, and I would like to get 
a fair value.

I just put some film in it to try it out.

Thanks.
