These original first 2-book Howe sets came in 2 versions, the more expensive with leather trim and bindings. I've seen several of each but the less-expensive were not signed (4 sets) and both of the more expensive ones (2 sets) were signed.

My own example? The latest El Cheapo combined/one-volume issue, all I care about is the information so I sold my original early set to a collector.
