Found you a bit of history and help with identifying patterns here....

As well as pages upon pages of HLC patterns at Replacements.com.  If you can locate yours, there may be prices of available pieces as a guide line for value. If no prices, at least you'd have a pattern name to use for further searching.

Your set was made in November 1932.

Have searched for an online site to reference for people inquiring on here and I really like the table that is on this website.

sugarcube, there is another section on this site.....Special Threads & Exceptional Information.  Kind of a gathering ground for any useful sites/references/contacts/whatever, so they don't get lost down the pages. Makes it easier to find those helpful bits when you need them.

As for KC's finding the date, if you check the link he supplied you'll see that it using the letters/numbers on the bottom of your piece you can trace it to a date or time frame.  Thus another great addition for our Special Threads section.
