It's an Omnigraph Code Practicer. I don't know much about these things, other than they were sold in newspapers and magazines for people to train themselves as telegraph operators. It looks like this one was manufactured in 1909. There's some more info on them here, including a link to an old advertisement. I don't know the value, but based on a more complex though possibly later that came up at auction which sold for $275, I'd probably guess between $100-$200.
