I just returned a call from yesterday to an owner of an 1982 model of the same walnut Louis XV sort. She bought it in AZ about 10 years ago and had it shipped to her cabin nestled in amongst the stumps of NW Wisconsin prairie for around 45K. I don't recall if it's autographed, if that's of any significance, and of course that's not a "new" price, so I don't know if that is any help whatsoever. I'm sure your radiator is just decorative, eh?
