As a general rule, buyers look for older sets that are in good to excellent condition, and although your picture is not very good (dark) it would appear that your set is in poor to very poor condition.
Because of the condition, I think it would be difficult to sell this set at any price.
I could be wrong and you could try listing it for sale, maybe starting at $75, and see if you receive any offers.
If no offers after several weeks then either reduce the price or keep the set yourself.
Occasionally these old sets will sell at yard sales - maybe for $15-20.

There are several sets listed for sale on online auction sites but all appear to be in very good condition even with that being said, I have not found a set that has sold.

Sorry. They are worth nothing. You can't even donate them to a library. They won't take them.

What is the value of a 12 volume set of the Students Handy Edition of Chambers' Encyclopaedia? I could not find a date on any page, but on the title page it states "with very large additions upon topics of special interest to American readers; and giving American statistics of population down to the census of 1890'. All 12 volumes are in very good condition and they belong to my mother who is trying to downsize. Thank you.

No. Old encyclopedia are not worth anything. It is difficult to give them away. Sometimes people use them for crafts, such as paper carving or for lamps.

Advertise on something like freecycle to see if someone will take them off your hands. No charity will take them.
