About the Item
This is a good quality handmade Miniature or travelling wood chess set game of 32 pieces in its own inlaid hardwood box, which we date to the mid 20th century, circa 1940s.
The small dimensions of this piece ( nominally 6 x 4 x 1.3 inches) allow the game to fit into a coat pocket.
The chess set is complete with 32 wood pieces having pegged bases. The jointed box is handmade of hardwood, possibly walnut, with line inlays of a lighter wood to the top and the base. The lid is a good fit to the base. The box has brass hinges and a brass fastener to keep the lid securely closed.
The inside of the lid has a green fabric pad to keep the chess pieces in position when the lid is closed.
Overall a quality handmade, complete, travelling chess set.
Chess Set Additional Details:
************* One important feature of this set is that the playing pieces can be left in position when the lid is closed, which is useful if you cannot finish the game in one session. *************
