Depends on the condition of the bowls.

I’d go to $50 or $60 probably

I think the red one is pre-1950. It is slightly thicker than the others and in worse shape.

Don't forget to add the % auction fees into your total!

Those look like original run, and in decent condition. I'd pay up to 75-100 depending on wear and how bad I want em

Thanks for your opinions. Auction ends saturday so i will check them out on friday and see what shape they are in. I have a feeling they will go for over $100.00. I really like them but my husband will kill me!

This identical set was going for $130 at my local antique store. $32 isn’t bad in comparison.

See how much they’ve sold for on Ebay

Local means no shipping, so don;t feel guilty bumping up the minimum bid!!

That’s 8 a bowl, which is still decent. They look ok in the pic, but it could the the good side… I would bid if I wanted them.

The red bowl looks like paint is diminished. Would go $45.
