Default MMI Aerobee HI 001-A 795 original Kit need advice

Hello - I found your forum while searching for information on a rocket model kit I inherited from my dad. His main area of interest was balsa/motor free flight airplanes, but this kit was in with his supplies and appears never built. I understand it's a rare one, and am ultimately interested in selling it. I am looking for some opinions on what you see and if it should be sold intact ( sell and ship with the propellant is problematic), but am inclined not to break up the kit. It was in his hobby room closet for decades, and kept in another closet when I got it. I'd rather it go to someone who appreciates the history and can take care of it. Description and photos included - would love to get your input and advice. Thanks for any suggestions - your posts are instructive and dad would have enjoyed them.

Aerobee Hi Model Missile Kit, Denver Co. #001-A-795 . Original Box - shows foxing, wear on corners and tape marks. I haven't cleaned off the dust or other signs of aging on the pieces, but have the small loose pieces in a bag. Original Pricing was $7.95. Appears complete with blast deflector, 1 piece launch rod, plastic silver nose. Since the Rock a chute box was open I show the pieces - with 5 of the 6 still in the box. Took a separate picture of the body of the rocket and it appears something is in there - it's tight and I don't want to pull it out.

Thanks again. I appreciate any input as I figure out next steps for this kit.
