I have acquired two identical Aurora's with no special markings except "Aurora" on the Bottom edge of the cap. They are gold with a brushed texture. I have pictures uploaded below... any info is welcome.

Looks like an Aurora 98 - I have the same one, it is a cartridge/converter. Mine came with an Aurora aero-type filler.
Cheers,

Thanks... both of mine also have Aero Converters.

Does anyone have an apprx value?

I paid $40 for mine but the aero filler is useless and the feed is clogged. I feel I should have paid $20 in retrospect so I'm not the best person to ask on pricing!

Yes, they are indeed 98 model from the mid sixties / early seventies.
They came both in piston filler (with a patented feature called "magic reserve") or in c/c like yours (and mine).
Value may vary, let's say the c/c version in ebay italy start from 10/15€ and may reach the double when good condition AND bid wars happens.

Congratulation on your purchase!
