About the Item

This is a good and complete English resin moulded "weighted" chess set game of 32 pieces, in a jointed pine box, all dating to the early/ mid 20th century, Circa 1930's. The chess pieces are made of a well moulded resin, all in the medieval style, with good detail. The bases of ALL pieces are weighted, probably with lead inserts and the bases are all covered in a red felt. Weighted sets like this one have a much nicer "feel" when playing. The pieces in the set have a good height with the Kings being about 9.5 cm and the Queens slightly taller at about 10cm. The set comes complete with a pine jointed storage box, having two compartments and a hinged lid and catch.
