Sorry, but Stanley Home Products http://sneakykitchen.com/stanley is not the Stanley Tool Company. I had one just like that for years, and it "grew legs" and disappeared. I have two newer Stanley ones now, one plastic, one longer aluminum that I also use as a straight-edge.
So much depends on age and condition. I see several on Ebay and other antique tool sites that look like the one I had, in the $15 to $20 range. If it's still level, just keep it and use it. You can check the level by laying it on a surface, carefully checking where the bubble is, then flipping it end for end, and the bubble should still be in the same place. The one I had actually had adjusting screws to re-calibrate the level.
If you wish to be sure, contact an appraiser, or do some research on the web.
