The Rhythm Chief series pickups are highly collectable and sought after,considered to be one of the finest sounding pickups for jazz. This Model 1000 recently sold for $399.
I've seen some sell for over $500.

With the bound body and pickguard, I'm thinking this guitar is a KG-32 which was made from 1939-42. Measure across the widest part of the body. If it is 14.75 inches the guitar is a KG-32.
The Blue Book suggests a value of $800-$950 in Excellent condition and $500-$600 in average condition.

"Kalamazoo: budget brand made from 1933-42; models similar to low-end Gibsons but without adjustable truss rod in neck; revived 1965-70 on cheaply made electric solidbodies, amps and one flat top model."
If it is a Kalamazoo branded mandocello, it should look like this.
Here's a 1940 Kalamazoo branded six string archtop.

It will probably take a picture to figure out what you have but with 8 strings it is unlikely your instrument is a guitar.
To me, your description sounds like a K-5 Master Mandocello.
Does your instrument resemble this instrument?
