Hello I was wondering if anyone might be on today that would know anyting of these it has me stumped thank you very much collectors hope you enjoy them
It is a subscription set. These were popular publications in the late 19th/ early 20th century.
Buyer would pay monthly and get a book-- in 2.5 years he had all of Dickens work on his bookshelf.
A search of the publisher ("e.r. dumont publisher") would probably narrow the years.
Looks to be a nice set, in good shape, but they usually don't bring much money.

Hi Scott thank you so much for the comment wasn't sure if the set was good for collectors
Glad to help out-- a nice group for the Dickens fan out there!
