I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on the value of this original chair. I see conflicting valuations when I google it, so just wanted some more input. Also, do you think tgat this chair will steadily go up in value, or just maintain? Thanks for your insight!!

So..
what makes you believe that it is a first generation? why are there no pictures attached? is the piece going to be for sale? what did you pay for it? where did you get the chair? where are you located? what is your birth sign? what color is parchment to you? what are your thoughts on valuation? what are your thoughts on the shock mounts? how many miles are on the chair? are you planning to upgrade the chair to something else? does it have a label? are the glides intact? any cracks (on the fiberglass)? any repairs? do you believe in love? have you done your homework,heather??
Enlighten us.

Updated info on chair w/photos
Here are the photos of the chair...had issues uploading before. The chair was found at a crummy little garage sale...they were asking $5.00. I wasn't sure what I had, but knew it was Eames. I slipped them an extra $60 in their money box for good measure. Once I rushed home with my find, I immediately got onto Google to check out the label that I had. I have done pretty extensive research about the item and its label, and am pretty darn sure that it is 1st generation due to the label and the roping attributed to it. I don't want to sell it because I treasure it. I was just wondering what you think it is worth, just for insurance purposes. It is in fairly decent condition...just missing the two back little stopper pieces. Hope this is enough 'enlightenment.' Thanks.
