He wasn't/isn't famous, but he did once have an exhibition at the Haworth.
I don't know their value now, but in 1980 they were valued as part of my ex husbands attempt to extract money from me (along with the valuation of all household items).
The big ones were £75 each and the small ones £25 each.
The man who was sent to value them had heard of Ernie Shaw and was impressed.
I keep them for sentimental reasons because I have had them since the 70s.

Their value to you is obviously higher than any evaluation -you can't put a price on sentiment
