I've had that style jug in the past, blending most things was an endeavor. As it looks to be never used I may toss it up on Craigslist for a few more $$$ than what I paid. My wife will appreciate that, she gave me that look she always gives me and said "one more thing to clutter up the countertop?".
It all depends on your expectations. I'd recommend putting it through its paces. The older Waring's can be workhorses though I don't know enough to date that one. It looks pretty sweet on your counter but if it doesn't do any kitchen tasks you need then I agree it should get the heave ho!
Edited to add: Nevermind. I just saw the "Sixty Years of Quality" inscription so it's surely not an oldie as you have already surmised. Still looks nice 🙃
