Hi...the Duplex snare (and the set you have) is a Spirit of St. Louis model from the early '30s. That's a pretty rare drum. I'd guess the snare alone is worth $500-800. In fifteen years of collecting, I've never seen a bass and tom like that; I'd guess the two pieces are worth $500 to 1000, so the set should bring $1000-?.

Here's a link to some history of the drum:
