KBN,
Welcome to AAPK.
Your request is one we get here frequently. Unfortunately it is like calling a car dealer & saying, "I have a 1993 Honda Civic. How much is it worth?"
Without pictures it is impossible to know what the condition of the knives are. Lot of the value is determined by the condition the knife is in. We need good close and clear pictures for that.
There is no "Blue Book" as such, though some books try to set prices. For the most part the best guide to prices is to see what similar knives have been selling for on ebay. There are some who might not agree totally with me, but I think the general consensus would be that by-in-large ebay drives the prices.
I hope this helps,
Dale

Hi Ken welcome to the forum. I have a few Frost penknives. There are so many of the Frosts made that the value is hard to determine. Photos help a lot. This is the place to get the correct info on the knives. The Frost penknives I have seem to have good steel in the blades and the fit and finish is good. My Frosts are old tho not antique.
