Not as much as you're thinking. For us lock hounds that is an antique, using it to learn how to pick and in the process ruining the pins and springs inside would be a real shame. Keep that lock on your shelf to admire. Maybe when you get good, you can then try to clean out thst keyway and pick it once or twice just for fun.
To see how much they sell for, go on ebay, click Advanced Search Options and type in Yale padlock and then check the box that says Completed or Sold listings.
