Alas, but the Standard isn't worth that much, unless it is New In Box and
with cards.  They were produced too long and in too great a quantity to
serve as a collectible.  

13,545 were made in black, 13,680 in chrome, all between 1932 and 1950.
The Summar is just as bad:  122,860 of THESE were made.  A mint rigid, in
box and with cards, might be worth something, but otherwise, no.

Combined value?  $500 or so, maybe a tad more, maybe a tad less.  A dealer
would probably offer $350 or so.
