The Baldwin ODE D price tag (several years ago) was $2,500 as the minimum price being asked, and they didn't stay on the market very long at all. It is easily worth (as mentioned earlier by Old Timer) around $2,500 and then going up in price depending on condition. As for value - that's kind of a "crap shoot" these days given the economy the way it is. It would be nice to see pictures of the back of the banjo (both peg head and resonator) to have a look at the tuning pegs and the grain of the wood. The bridge you have on there is a compensated bridge that I've seen on quite a few banjos, but I don't know who makes them.
The gold on the arm rest looks to be worn off (again from the photo), but that's pretty common. I should have added (in the post above) that the tailpiece you have is an Oettinger (by the looks of it from the photo) which is a good, quality tailpiece, although not an original ODE tailpiece like you see on mine.
