Hi William,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Not knowing the weight of this set makes it a bit difficult to valuate but I've found a set of similar size (https://www.liveauctioneers.com/search/?keyword=towle%20flatware%2090&sort=-saleStart&status=archive) that's helped guide my valuation (I'm conservative on the estimate because there can be value differences between patterns too).
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

That's heavier than I thought it was, and increases the value a bit. I've updated this so you're all set. Thanks!
