I find many unusual items from Texas and the Northeast. Many take extensive research so any help will be appreciated.

hello and thanks for your posting.  Your set looks to be in very good condition and is popular with collectors of the 1950's sets.  it is a more common set as it was popular in the day.  I would say it is third in popularity after the robot set and ferris wheel set.  The full market value of your set is $55 - $65.
