I'd expect its pretty valuable Mike. A quick search on Bookfinder didn't find any originals like yours but they do list a few of the 1972 reprints. Prices range from $130 to $160. I'd expect an original would be considerably more valuable. The following should take you to the Major Taylor search results.
