For insurance valuation I would take the highest price an all-original ‘66 blonde Tele has sold for and add about 25%. You’ll probably never find another one in that condition, and almost certainly not with the cast-iron provenance that one has.
The only other advice I would give is… play it. Don’t worry about minor wear to the frets etc - it deserves to be played and not just stuck in a case. It will also sound better if you do (really).

Great looking guitar by the way, and you obviously enjoy owning it.
It's so beautiful. What an absolute treasure.

By way of example, ATB have just sold a fairly undesirable '69 Tele for just under £5k. A private sale of a very similar one on Ebay only fetched £2,750 - so the value is hugely dictated by the seller.
Plus often, as a dealer you find that you don't get a 15K card sale - More like 2-5K and the dog, volvo + kitchen sink coming in as well on a trade in
