What is the value of a complete set of The American Reference Library Encyclopedic, published in 1924 by Perpetual Encyclopedia Corporation? I just bought a beautiful set bound in dark leather with gilt. I love all the beautiful color plates and illustrations. I'm tempted to use those for numerous art projects and collage, but I would hate to cut up this set and find out it is worth a large amount of money. Does anyone know?

My husband is an auctioneer, and sadly, these books usually bring only a couple dollars. You can access many encyclopedias online, that are updated daily, so the older ones don't carry much value. Perhaps in another 100 years.
