The book "Spanish Handguns" by Gene Gangarosa, Jr., lists "Automatic Pistol" as a post-WWI Ruby type pistol but no maker is listed. That is not uncommon since so many small companies in the Eibar region were making pistols that it is likely impossible at this remove to even know all of them let alone identify their products. In addtion, guns were often made by a group of small shops, and even literal cottage industry, who would make parts for guns that would be assembled somewhere else. In that sense, a lot of those guns were from "exceedingly rare" (as in "totally unknown") makers.

Unfortunately, in such cases, rarity does not translate to value, and you are right, it is not worth a lot, probably under $100 and hard to sell at that.
