When it comes to collectibles, condition means so much but also some of the boxes, etc...seem to add an absurd amount of value. I'm not familiar with antique radios so I was looking for some feedback on what you'd think it would go for. The last one I saw in very good condition went for $130 plus shipping without a box or paperwork. Here is what I have:
#1- White & Silver Sterling LS-4 #2- The red round tag that hung from it that says Sterling LS-4 #3- Some kind of paperwork talking about the tubes and that it’s not a problem but if not, send back bad tube for a new one free of charge. (I can get exact verbiage when I get home) It’s dated something like March 1958 #4- The owners manual #5- The box which also has the inside part that has the cutout for the dial
I have no idea if it works as I don’t have the batteries to test it.
I appreciate the help!

Posting a scan of the set and it's accessories will aid in appraising it.
These mid-size tube portables can go all over the board AFA price.
I have several with different badges (Little-Son, Harpers, Sterling) which I have paid between $23 and $79 for, with the black and white sets garnering the lower end, the green and red the higher. I received the boxes with several of them, but the color seems to have the most impact on pricing.
The accessories of course will help the price, but not as much as with rarer radios.

Sounds, to me, like your radio should definitely go for at least $130. Put it on ebay with a starting bid price of $130 and see where the market takes it. You can't get a more accurate valuation then that, now, can you?
