1" pitch chains go for 40 on up over 100, depending on condition, length, and style. IMO a nice looking OE block chain like that would be top end. I believe there may have been reproduction block type made for track bikes. If it's that, then maybe 50-75.

Yeah, block chain is quite pricey. Probably averaging 100$ for a full length piece. There is a wheelman reproducing these though so it may get hard to tell. If it seems too nice, it probably is. Check for chain stretch. If it is 100 years old, it will likely be stretched pretty good.
I think that one is the same style on my 1908 Peerless. With the straight sides, but the slot in the middle.
