Winchester 1905 35 cal

The ammo, assuming 50 to the box, is worth probably a couple hundred dollars; .35 SL is MUCH harder to find than .351 SL.
The rifle alone is worth $500.00 plus, but demand is fairly low. I'd insure it for a grand were it mine.
 
35 WSL "Collector" ammo is indeed very scarce, but for someone who wants to shoot the gun, it's very easy to make. 38 Spec brass just needs to be shortened to about 1.14 inches, and a bit of work done to the rim.
 
It's a shame but there has never been the collector interest in Winchester autos that there is in levers. And the production numbers were low as well.
I think if it has 2x or 3x wood and a tang peep it might be worthwhile getting a letter from the U.S. saying it was ordered that way.
If so the value would increase somewhat to maybe $1000.
Just my opinion.
