In 1993 you could sell for $800. Now I think you'd be lucky to get $500. $250 is still Alto price though (jn fact, $150-$250 for like Alto). I'd say $400-$550 for the Tenor. And it is a grossly de-evolved Aristocrat Tenor. Harder to keep in regulation too (from my experience of owning a Buescher branded Tenor of a similar year). I also had the gold epoxy paint finished Alto branded Bundy. It was a much better sax than the Tenor counter part I had.
Appraisal of Bundy I Tenor
I have a 1969 Bundy I Tenor with red logo, wire keyguards, and pearl thumb rest with teardrop octave key mech, serial number 47xxxx. Is this a stencil, or just a normal bundy tenor? What's it worth? I was thinking of selling it and adding $300-$500 cash to get a cheap 10m.
It has old but supple and sealing pads, and while I'm not sure if it's leak proof, I can play down to low Bb fairly easily compared to every other tenor and alto sax I've ever played. The only repairs it needs are a to replace a compressed neck cork I've built up with teflon tape, and to replace the side Bb cork and the cork under the low c key. It also has a tiny amount of a hiss when you play g with the octave key.
By the way, it looks like this:
