I know it obviously appears to be from a maker named L. Bishop... this is the extent of my knowledge. How old is it? Is it in the original box? What should be done to preserve it? Any advice on keeping it as a collectible? Is it rare, or common? (Pics Below)

I greatly appreciate anyone that helps answer these questions.

Thanks a lot,
Chris.
