So, what would you be willing to pay for an original CS in the crate? The $250 might just about cover the cost of the crate...

That's way too high.  I wouldn't pay $250 for all 6, delivered.  (It's still April 1st here).

What was the prevailing wage on that date? What was the cost of living? What was the value of the Dollar?

All things being equal I suppose they should be worth somewhere around $5,000 if they were still in production from Britain today. Scarcity factor??? - Probably another $5,000 to $10,000 worth of antiquity.
