This could be a nice chandelier but it will cost a tidy sum to refurbish this light fixture so most likely it will be low value in the present condition.
You do not say if it is actually working but I feel sure that if it turns on it would be dangerous to use it.
It is very expensive to completely rewire a chandelier and other item such as candle sleeves - new ones are cheap but authentic vintage sleeves are expensive.
The vintage Feldman lamps that are popular and seem to be more in demand are the brass lamps as I have not seen very many of the painted type up for sale. This is just my thinking.
The complete lamp will have to be redone and this will be costly. That is why I believe the value will be low - my guess would be $50-$75 with local pick up only.
You could contact someone at this site and ask for an estimate of cost to refurbish your chandelier so you will have an idea of what it would cost. But, you may be able to sell it to someone who would like to try redoing it themselves.

Please let us know how your sale goes. I would love to be proven wrong as your lamp may fool me and the value is much higher.
The Feldman Co. was a prominent Lighting Company in Los Angeles California in the 40-70's, they sold most all types of lighting needs.
Judging by the number on the label of your chandelier, I think it was most likely made in the late 1960s, comparing with this Light Fixture ancientpoint.com/
Here are several cast iron Feldman Co. filigree hanging lights made in a similar style like yours (cast iron, painted): www.worthpoint.com/
Here are four another cast iron lights with the price $650, but judging by the label, I think they were made in the 1970s

So, I think the price of your Feldman Mid-Century Cast Iron (Metal) Chandelier is about $400-600.
The price depends on where it is for sale at. These chandeliers will typically sell higher in an Antique Shop or Private sale compared to an auction. I would advice you to check your local Antique Shops in the area to see what yours or one like it would sell for or has sold for. Also Amazon, Ebay, Etsy are great for selling.
