Call me sentimental, but I'd want an expert to advise me before I wall mount this beater. Restoration would be expensive but if the restored value by chance is a break-even for the restoration expense, I'd go for that.
I just love old gear...

I think it is unusual for guitars from this period to have pickguards. You don't see a lot of pickguards on flat top guitars til the later 1930's. Also, guitars from this period tend to have fancier inlay than this example.
It's clear this guitar has undergone a lot of modifications so who knows what is original and what has been added. I doubt that it was homemade originally, but I don't doubt someone may have whittled on the neck to flatten out that ridge. The unfortunate reality is that it has been neglected for so long it's now basically worthless other than what the tuning pegs might fetch.
Take the strings and the duct tape off and hang it on the wall.
