I know nothing about the set but, that's a great deal for $10. Even better at $8.80. Congratulations. Do you have a board big enough for them?
Need help identifying this large wooden set
Other than the king's finial, they look a lot like https://www.chesshouse.com/collections/wooden-chess-pieces/products/6-rosewood-chessmen

I have a chess table with 2.5" squares. The pieces fit, but they still seem a awkwardly big. Maybe I just need to get used to it.

Thanks. The knights look similar. The king's finials on my set actually look identical to the king's finial on an overstocked amazon set a bunch of us bought last year.

They could be father and sonGreat deals on both of those sets @goodspellr! Still, that table is very special.
I was at a local used bookstore and came across a complete large wooden set sitting loose in a bowl in the "collectibles" section of the store.
There was no identifying info, not even a price tag. So I took it up to the desk and asked how much they wanted. The girl thought about it for a minute and then said, almost apologetically, "I can sell it to you for $10", as if she didn't think anyone would pay so much for a chess set. And then on top of it, I got 20% off with my rewards card. Total cost: $8.80 after tax!
The kings are 6" tall, have a 2" base, and weigh 127g
It looks like it was manufactured recently and with nice craftsmanship, but I couldn't find anyone selling this design when googling "wood chess set 6 inch king". Anyone know who might have made this? Thank you.
