Value is the most common question anyone asks. A good guideline would
be "two stones for a dollar". Of course there are many exceptions,
but it is a good place to start. One can expect to pay twice that price
in a Madison Avenue antique shop in New York City. Bargains can still
be found, but far more sets are overpriced than underpriced. I cannot
tell you how often people ask about a GK-NF set # 4, of 47 stones, being
offered for US$200. The # 6, with 105 stones and all three books, is
not worth $100! For questions about specific values, please fell free
to contact me .
If you are interested in buying one of the sets of the renewed production, I am told that you will find them in the Land's End Christmas Catalog, or check the text under Rudolstadt, just above the picture.
For those who would really like to find out more about Anchor stones, I have written a book about them. (I just got tired of looking up the same information again and again.) It is expensive, $70 ppd, because I print it myself on my PC and color ink is expensive. The book undoubtedly contains a lot more information about Anchor stones and sets, the Richter company, etc. than you'll ever want to read. This book is a lot of work to print (I print a dozen at a time, in either English or German), so please don't think I am urging you to buy one.
