Amazing find!
Trying to imagine the games played over years and years.
Really impressive!
The leather box looks like it's from the 1800s.
Beautiful Patina.
Leave it as you found it, please
There are some knuckleheads on here that would undo all the history and claim they restored it.
Would carefully examine the leather box for any identification marking.
I just purchased this chess set for what I thought was a fair price. It definitely has it's problems, but it has character. I would appreciate any insights into it's age. Thanks.
