Hi,
this is a Zeiss West dry objective for use without cover slip. It will have been in routine medical use where blood smears are usually not covered. Most medical laboratories will have moved to newer microscopes by now and for the amateur it doesn't have many uses. Perhaps one could use it for epi illumination work. Since nobody will be keen to buy it it isn't valuable.
