agree machine appears 1970's but pre CPSC - likely a "boomer"
you may be able to read a date on the shell of the Shimano planetary hub
value -
garage sale - 20-30USD
classified - 30-45USD
that's probably about the upper limit
caveat: markets can vary widely depending on location - both in value and in salability

Look Ma, No Hands!
The BMA/6 sticker definitely says post-1972, and yes it appears to be Murray built. Those handlebars are definitely owner-added. Not that it makes much difference, because if you swap out the rear hub, add derailleurs, dual chainwheel, remove the chain guard, five speed freewheel, and drop bar brake levers you've got what passed for a $60-70.00 ten speed back in 1973. Yes, they used the 3-speed stem on the 10-speeds.

Sometime in the '70s, they started putting a decal at the bottom of the seat tube, just above the cranks, w/a manufacture date.
