It's definitely a Model C.  See photos here:

I'd definitely take it if it was a Model B as that was what was used on
the PDP-1 for a console typewriter (modified of course).  The 'C' is a
different styling than the B.

Worth keeping?  To someone I'm sure.  Was it ever used as the console for
any computers?
