Hi Trav-

Yeah you got a great score! I'm hardly an expert but what you have is attributed to Paul Frankl, although rarely if ever signed. I read someplace that depending on how many bands on the arms determines the age of the pieces. I have a set that has 6 bands on the arms and that is supposed to be from the 40s. I see you have the 4 band...so either it's 30s or 50s I can't remember which...then again the whole band thing might be a bunch of crap..who knows! Anyway you got an awesome deal! I found a set last summer consisting of 2 arm chairs, a 4 piece sofa- (2 slipper chairs and 2 one sided arm rest chairs)and a coffee table for $300. Mine have vinyl covers that are brown and orange floral-not beautiful by any means but in great shape, vintage, and fine for outside. Here is a link to see just how much these things are going for once restored and reupholstered.
