Hello,

If this is your set, it sold on eBay recently for a starting price of 20.99, they took best offer, and it cost over 100 in shipping...so figure the value is about 100 when all is said and done (with fees etc.) If this is your set, this is the current market value.

I just had the same conversation with another poster asking about encyclopedia values. I am going to link that answer as I think it may offer you some additional guidance if you are trying to sell these pieces.

My answer is under my handle--pghgirl40.

In your case, you may get much more for them if you have the patience to take them apart and sell them for crafts!

Best wishes to you on your sale and stay safe!

This is a nice set that would go well for a collector. This set is currently for sale on ebay asking $250 to about $500. There are a lot of encyclopaedia's for sale and do not bring in more than $100 when books are under 100 years old. This set seems to have more value. www.ebay.com/.../333379969929 and www.ebay.com/.../202372418490

If you happen to have the leather ones that you are selling they are asking the price that was quoted to you here. Other than this the other books are going for around $50 to $80 for the set. Yours are not the leather ones so your price will be much lower and it is not so easy to sell books like this these days.

You might do better to try and sell them locally and not post them online.
