Even though this is not an American set but with the Bishop head shape. It does have an American style of Bishop.

I will too. @cgrau is there more in the book than in the online pdf that I originally posted?
I don't know. I don't have access to Scribd. IMHO, if you're interested in American chess sets, it's money very well spent. <snip>
Yes. Much more in Duncan's book. As mentioned, well worth the price.
I think the 1904 Cambridge Springs set is probably one of the rarest sets ever. I have seen one original set close up and held a few pieces. To think each set was played with by the greatest players of the day. It was a magnificent experience.
