The seller seems to have very high reviews and people like their items, so while that's not a surefire appraisal, this asking price seems fair for the item since they have other, more affordable lenses.
The key is going to be finding out your specific item's history. For you to ask a similar price, you need to discern whether this is a genuine piece; is it actually from the era this style was popular, and not just a reproduction? If it's a reproduction, the condition means less; of course it'll be in better shape if it's newer. If it's not a reproduction, you'll want it away from that potato salad and taken care of.
You'll probably want to do some very thorough research and maybe even consult a specialist.

Here's the listing I found on etsy for something very similar: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4567564267/100-years-old-antique-handmade-double?gpla=1&gao=1&
