I've seen a photo of the backstamp but can't make out a model number on it. Is there one?

According to Dots & Diamonds (see www.thatretropiece.com) the pattern (on clear dinnerware) was introduced in 1934, and other verbiage seems to indicate was produced until 1939. It was at first just etched into the glass with no color applied, then etched and enameled, and finally just applied via "...

On a PC, the option is in the left column. On a mobile device or tablet, it is under "filter".

The standard answer is to check eBay "sold" listings (not just "completed") to determine a realistic average. If in unused condition (paint unscratched and shiny), those particular bowls in that pattern usually go for well north of $100 per set. Original box adds value.
