Very interesting and beautiful set. Extra special with the matching board. I have a only couple chess sets. My favorite is one several people probably have, the Avon bottles from back in the 70s. My mother made me a hooked rug chess board for them. I also recently obtained one that came out during the most recent US Presidential campaign. There were probably quite a few made and advertised as limited, each with a numbered certificate of authenticity. I just had to have one for the humor and to say I had it. All the pieces are political figures from the two major parties. I do not think either set is worth a lot.

Beautiful set, I haven't played in years. I hope for you it is a one off set. Nice pics.

I bought a very similar set in 1981 while in Mexico. At the time I think you could buy them for about $30. My set was made exactly the same, materials, board with drawers. The only difference was in the shape of the pieces. As I remember it, I think they were pretty common, we saw them in several shops. I have no idea if they are still sold or if they have appreciated.

How about Robin Hood and Merry Men vs The King and hierarchy of Sherwood Forest?
