Well, yours is pretty nifty looking Clermont.
I have no idea of value, but I'm intrigued.

That's very interesting. Can you shed any light on the purposes of the various cutouts and edges? A pretty long list of functions for some rather non obvious (to me) object.
The one on ebay is a very common imported gadget, similar to yours. But cheaper. I have one that was apparently some giveaway swag associated with a movie, "The Day After tomorrow", I believe. I guess tying into the end-of-the-world theme of the movie. And dealextreme.com sells them two for $3.

I'm posting two better quality photos of both sides of the Walle-Hawk. I'm also including the link to view the original patent which describes, better than I could, the features and uses for the Walle-Hawk. The patent does show more features than found on the production model.
