I have a set of red colored Book of Knowledge with copyrights from 1868 -1923. This is The Children's Encyclopedia. Are they of any value at this time? Please advise

These books are 100 years old so they qualify as antiques. Take them to several book dealers to get estimates of what they are worth.
The value of these seems to fluctuate from one month to the next but most of the time these sell better than regular encyclopedias. Condition and actual publishing date are big factors in true value. If sets are listed at a higher price sellers many times will have books like this listed for weeks/months and many times years before being sold - if they ever sell. I know this sounds like fiction but it is true but then sometimes if books are listed at a decent price they will sell quickly.
