Hate to rain on your parade, but at least in my vicinity, people can generally find used oil burner heads much like this one (which looks like a re-badged Beckett) for between free for the taking away and $10-25.00. The length of the front tube is very boiler/ furnace specific, so unless you find someone who needs the length you have, not that many people are likely to have a strong interest in it.
Maybe I will throw it on CL or ebay and see if I get any intrest. It does say beckett on the motor

it's a rebadged beckett AF/AFG. yup length of the blast tube is furnace boiler specific. If it was a carlin or a wayne it would be worth more. Becketts tend to burn off the burner retention head (cheap part, but a pain to change) if you adjust it to run in it's most efficient settings. In working condition, 25-30 is all it's worth, more if someone needs it.

You can usually get more than That I've seen them go for $100.00 + CAD if they are working.
There is a lot of WVO guys and WMO guys out there converting these to burn the WMO and WVO .
The tube lenght is not always boiler specific as mentioned earlier.
One modification to burn WMO is to add heaters and extend the tubes so that is not a detraction.
CL and Ebay might surprise you, go for it.
