A set that size would usually sell for around $400-$500 on ebay you would probably get 3 times that if sold as individual pieces. I have amassed a set of around 600 pieces some of which aren't even in the official catalogue. It's a great design although not sure what the value will do as time goes by as the next generation doesn't seem to care much for heritage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690605936481154191.post-17995699634314320332017-01-12T20:11:25.993-08:002017-01-12T20:11:25.993-08:00I have the whole set they used to belong to my gra...I have the whole set they used to belong to my grandma.

I use an old glass jar with a screwtop lid so that i can give it all a good shake. Apply it directly to the timber and work it in with a fine grade steel wool then wipe over firmly with a clean cloth until it shines. The ingredients feed & preserve the timber which is why i like to use it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690605936481154191.post-41841693063354767592010-08-05T17:41:26.412-07:002010-08-05T17:41:26.412-07:00Oh, wow.
