Here's mine, and a flickr gallery where some of the photos with it are.

There are several variants of this camera, I have links to catalogs etc in some of the camera images in the gallery. Made in 37-40. Mine has the auto frame stop feature - it is those sliding buttons on the left of the camera. Most Bessas don't have that. Note also the shutter is on the left, through the folding door. Some like it, some hate it.

The 1940 Abe Cohen's catalog has the Baby Bessa on page 8 of the pdf. Sounds exactly like the one I have... Compur 1 sec to 1/300, Skopar 3.5, it went for $55.
With Bessas - and folders in general - the lens is of paramount importance for picture quality and value of the camera itself. If this has a Skopar it is much more valuable than if it had a Vaskar or equivalent. Plue in my experience the Skopar makes good photos.
The camera in your photo doesn't have the yellow fold out filter, not a big deal for photography, but it should affect price.
My Bessa 66 is my favorite camera, period, all things taken into account.
