Dear Jim,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a toy wooden sword with a textile scabbard with tin applications. The wood is difficult to judge on the base of images but it appears that it is a tropical wood. The scabbard is dated 1909 which should also determine the dating.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 100 to 200 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
