Title: Homer Laughlin
Post by: Luciana on January 19, 2005, 09:39:01 am

Hi...I just came across a complete set of Homer Laughlin dishware.  It is Lady Stratford print and has 22k gold around the edges. I know that it was printed only from the 30's to the 60's, but that's all I know.  It is a complete set for 12 people and has serving platters and all sorts of other extras.  Does anyone know how much something like this would be worth and where I would go to find people would be interested?  Any help at all would be great!

this site has your pretty pattern in stock -

values given are high retail replacement.  For you to sell your set, you may get as little as 50% of values quoted.  You could check out completed prices on a major auction site; check out some of the antiques shops and antiques malls in your own area - see what similar quality sets are selling for.  Or consider consignment.      KB    :)
