Oh, man, that's in bad shape. I wouldn't pay much for it. :( You could re-paint the white but the breaks look terrible. Only for a guitar or bass in equally bad condition.

Looks original.

But also looks past its prime time...

You should...

I just bought one from 1965 and paid quite a lot more than that.

But it was the last piece I needed to restore my 1964 4001S back to period correct status (original would be too strong a word here...)
