A set like that could be worth 100's if not 1,000s of dollars.

I really couldn't say about the price/value

But just a comment as to how times have changed. I the early-mid eighties, as a boy I bought painted led soldiers. Now I bet it would be impossible to find any with such a fear of lead poisoning. It's funny to think how toys from China are often vilified (sometimes rightly so) for lead content, but our toys used to be made out of solid lead. Plus having cavalry and indians ... that probably reflects another cultural shift.

That's quite a collection. Sorry I don't have any idea of the value but I bet it's up there.
