It looks like the serial number is actually S817434. That would make it an early postwar .38 M&P that shipped c. March or April, 1946. I own a revolver just a few numbers earlier that shipped in March.
I don't know what the value would be; probably not much. I own a few boxes like it that are in excellent condition. That one needs some serious TLC.

Richard got in ahead of me, but we both came to the same conclusion.
Here are some pictures of boxes from the same period, in much better condition (one with the gun in it):

Hello Jim, your box has a nice bottom. A little attention, she will
come to life. Some wood blocks and a few C clamps and a touch of Elmers.
The end label looks like garage storage damage. Just needs a patient
hand and some time. Value, right now just a project. Mike
