Default Gibson L-00 value

Was wondering what my 1932 (1933?) Gibson L-00 is worth, its not the reissue. I had the bridge replaced, had a luthier build and install a new one professionally for $475.00. Original frets are in great shape, the neck is perfect, tone is outstanding. Not interested in selling, just curious.

I've recently seen them retail at around $3,500 - $3,800 ish. The ones I played may have been a bit younger, like late 30s.

I think the bridge is rosewood, not sure. The original owner had used drywall screws and screwed right through the bridge to hold it down. It was a mess when I got it, but was used for only slide guitar so the frets are in amazing shape, too bad they are so small and low. Will post a pic of the bridge-

Here is the bridge that was replaced and built in 2005 by Denny Rauen.
