Name that grill

I bought a bunch of parts for a restoration on a mid 50's pickup and have some left over. It was a bulk buy and I did not go through everything. I'm stumped on this grill. It has turn signals in the grill unlike early F100 and an emblem in the middle top I have not seen on an F100. Has no dents...Thanks in advance to all

It's a 55 custom cab grille. The turn signals are not stock and a previous owner add on. The "gull wing" trim on the upper bar is what distinguishes the Custom Cab model. The star in the center denotes 6 cylinder engine.

Everybody's market is unique, and it may be worth more or less where you live compared to others. Pretty sure you could easily get 2 bills for it, probably more.
