I did some googling and read a post stating that even Ron Fernandez doesn't know much about the Granados Esteve guitars from years past. Ron has been the main distributor of Esteve classical guitars for quite some time. From what I've read, the Granados Esteve guitars were the predecessors to the current Esteve line. Mid-level, Spanish shop-built guitars.

Someone else will undoubtedly have actual information instead of my made up answer, but I found a lot of links in Spanish and French that give pricing for esteve granados new (didn't see your model number in my quick search): http://www.twenga.fr/guitare-classique-esteve.html for example. Prices don't appear to stray over the 500euro mark, but I suppose a rare antique made by an unknown luthier might bring in a boatload, in the right crowd. If you can't get any more information on the Internet, and you're definitely interested in selling, find a dealer who isn't in the running at all, and who can be trusted, and ask for a frank appraisal of the brand/model (condition won't be an issue at this stage) - if the shops that are making you offers are way above or below the ballpark or qualitative answer you can get from a trustworthy shop (and there loads of those), you may be able to determine a course of action. But if it's just a beautiful guitar that plays and sounds fantastic, why not keep it?
