Hi Kristin - Welcome Aboard the Board!!

I don't know anything about Kenneth Smith golf clubs, but I'd suggest searching on eBay for similiar clubs, that should at least give you some ball park numbers to help ease your concerns about getting ripped-off (although you should know that you'll be less value from a trade-in than you will if you sell them privately).

I looked on Ebay first but they only had a few clubs selling, not a whole set...hence coming here.

Hello Kristen

I did some Google work and came up with this auction on Yahoo
Kenneth Smith Cavity Back Irons
Here is the LINK
There really is not a lot of info out there, at least I can not find much on Kenneth Smith irons. I did come across this article, but it was not dated.

The name Kenneth Smith is associated with custom-made golf equipment around the world. And rightly so as the Kenneth Smith Company has been supplying hand-crafted golf clubs to players globally for nearly 70 years — until now that is.
As of now, the gates are locked, the inventory has been liquidated (nearly 400 pieces have been sold by the company on E-Bay since last November) and the web site is no longer available.
The company has laid off its employees, and the buildings and land — which have significant historic value — seems to be destined for another suburban subdivision.
Mr. Smith was introduced to the game in 1916 when he accepted a job as a caddie at Mission Hills C.C., because it paid better than his old newspaper route. Soon after, he was made an apprentice clubmaker at the course, and then took on the duties full-time when the resident clubmaker was called into military service.
Smith opened his own clubmaking company in 1928 in Kansas City. Shortly after, he custom built a set of clubs for a pro named Horton Smith, who would later gain immortality in winning the first and third Masters Tournaments — thus created the demand for Kenneth Smith products.
Mr. Smith died in 1977, but his company had continued to operate in the same low-key, high-quality manner he championed.
