Rotary housing any good?

After sitting for 10 years am finally starting my rebuild on my 84 gsl and one of the rotor housings is worn. I did source one, but I'd like to know if the old one is salable as usable, or for display. Also, how much should I ask? Thanks all.

The line of lost chrome at the bottom is questionable, but there's too much wear at the top. It's a display piece.

They don't add chrome back, they do a really fine grinding to remove scratches and chatter marks. Chips Motorsports does this as well.

That service is more for something like this where chrome is still present:
