Got a set of 1860-1868 major first edition Chambers encyclopaedias. What are they worth?
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.
How can I determine the value of a 10 volume, 1892 Chambers encyclopaedia set?
I was just wondering, I have a full Chambers's Encyclopedia - A Dictionary of Universal Knowledge from 1906. It is in good condition. Anyone got an idea if its worth any money?

I own a 1955 set of Chamber's Encyclopedias. It consists of 15 volumes and 2 volumes of Chambers Encyclopedia World Survey 1960 and 1961.
They were hand made in London, England and are bound in red leather and embossed with 24k gold.
I would like to sell them and I need to know their current market value.

Sorry. They are worth nothing. You can't even donate them to a library. They won't take them.
How much are my Chamber's encyclopaedias worth? They were reprinted in 1969. They are white with dust covers and in mint condition.

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.
