Help identifying thrift store chess pieces

I saw a set of pieces all wrapped up in plastic at a thrift store a while back for $3, and when I got home all the pieces including extra queens were there. Does anyone know about how much a set like this would be new? I know I got a good deal, but I'm curious how good. They feel weighted, the king is 3.5 in tall.

They look good. The rooks and knights are close to the Judit Polgar DGT exclusive set, but the bishop has a shape that I cannot place.

Wow, for $3 you win the day, Sir!

That looks very similar to this https://www.houseofstaunton.com/chess-products/the-classic-series-chess-pieces-3-5-king other than your black pieces are black and you knights have simpler jowls.

That bargain bin find is still a steal regardless if the original price of the set was only $10.
