I have this ritchey stem thats been laying around for may years, but i can't find it in any catalog. Look's 80' to me but i had no real clue, now with help from joglo i know that its a "Ritchey FD, Model II (fillet brazed), High (110mm reach), 1" quill" - properly from 1988 or 1989.

But what might it be worth?

yes that is a great stem and in the lesser-found high-rise, short-ish reach that many of us 50-something's now like (or need) to ride today.
I would value it at anywhere between £40-£80 - I guess 1,1/8" version might be more useful to many, but being 1" it suits a lot of 1980s and early '90s hand-built frames with fillet-brazing - so its spot on for many. the sort of thing I'd keep in the drawer just in case its needed in future. Love it. 👍
