I have a handmade glass punch bowl set 
made by LE Smith Co. The set is complete and near-mint....bought back in 1963. Long story short...I want it out of my basement and hope to finance something cool with the proceeds, such as a sub or amp or something I'll actually use. Anyone knowledgeable about this stuff out there?

This is standard LE Smith fare my friend...pixie figurines and dishes. I need someone who may be in the antique business. (I do still owe you for the trick to removing silly putty from my AVR remote though
) -

I was going to post a link to a couple of ebay auctions I found, but I am not in the antique business, so you can look for them yourself._________________________________________________

Did you buy this brand new in 1963 or is it considerably older? I reason I ask is that a handmade glass punch bowl set made in 1963 would not be considered an antique by anyone's standards. Maybe in another 54 years, but don't hold your breath.Political Correctness'.........defined

I was joking with Face....as if 'my punchbowl set is more superior than the that stuff' on the site he sent me. If anyone does have info., I do appreciate and just took pics of it. -

I believe it was a wedding gift for my parents, so it was probably bought new.
The encouraging thing has been I have found only 1 of them on numerous sites / auctions on the web. If I can get around 200 - 300ish, I would be happy, but really have no idea of the value.
