Dear Marion,
Anton von Schmid is a very important Austrian printer who first was
allowed to print Hebrew books in Vienna. Your siddurim are precious in
both senses of the word, invaluable tokens of Jewish(-Christian) life
and history in Vienna and also probably expensive if sold today.
You may take a look at these articles:

Quoting Marion Stein via Hasafran <[email protected]>:
I have a set of Machzorim published in Vienna in 1816. The publisher's name
is Anton Schmid. It is a multi-volume set. I wanted to know if this set is
of any particular historic value or is it common? It is printed on
beautiful rag paper. The body of the books are mainly in good condition but
the leather covers are deteriorated.
Anyone have any idea about this set? It is not complete. There is one
volume missing, I believe.
