Can anyone estimate the value of a vintage steel utility cabinet (circa 1950s/early 60s)?

This is an avocado colored cabinet (36″ hx30″wx18″d) with what I think is a formica countertop (complete with metal edging). There is a slide-out wood, built-in ironing board (small, for a sleeve) right below the countertop; an upper compartment accessible by sliding opaque glass doors (kind of like in 60s bathrooms), then two smaller drawers with silver boomerang handles, and below that a two-door lower cabinet with 2 slide-out shelves.. There is no name as far as I can tell as to the manufacturer. I can’t find anything on an internet search as to a “vintage steel cabinet” or “chest” – that mostly gives me office furniture or actual kitchen cabinets (this is a standalone) I am toying with the idea of painting it white, but don’t want to mess with it if it is worth any money. Any ideas?
It sounds like it is worth a lot of money! like about 25,000 to 50,000! so don’t paint it or anything!
