Question: Chamber Pot

I am looking for some place to find the value of a a toilet from THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAIL ROAD.

THE TAG ON THE TOILET PAN READS

"NOTICE TO PASSENGERS DO NOT EMPTY THIS TOILET OUT OF TRAIN WINDOW CENTRAL PACIFIC R.R."

I would appreciate it if you could let me know if you have an approximate value on it or if you can direct me to someone who could apraise it I live in Talladega, Alabama.

It is in very good condition and is solid brass with a handle 9" in diameter with a 1 1/2" rim.
