Are you sure that the yellow color of the keys isn't base-metal, where the silver plating has worn away? Normally, tarnished silver goes black.
Is the bore polished and smooth, or very grainy? Are there any cracks? Look around the trill-key area 2/3 up the top joint. Does it hold a vacuum?
The keywork is roughly equivalent to that of a modern low-end student model, but with open-hole keywork (which is unusual nowadays).
It lacks a LH F and I cannot see from your pictures if it has a forked-F vent or not. It does not have a B-C connection, I think.
It does have the C#-D# connection and it has semi-automatic octaves, which is standard in the USA.
I have no idea what it would fetch after a full restore, but almost certainly not more than a second-hand student model :( Oboes don't have "rarity value". If it sings, it sings.
