Description: TRUE STORY. MY FORMER WIFE BOUGHT ME THIS SET 50 YEARS AGO - I THINK IT WAS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT. I NEVER PLAYED CHESS AND NEVER DID. FOR THE PAST 50 + YEARS I HAVE SCHLEPPED THIS SET AROUND THE COUNTRY. TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY THAT I HAVE OPENED THE BOX SINCE 1979. IT TOOK A LITTLE LONGER TO FIND THE BOARD (18 X 18 IN.) WHICH HAS BEEN CAREFULLY WRAPPED UP, BUT HAS EARNED A COUPLE OF VERY MINOR SCRATCHES IN ITS LONG ODYSSEY. THE FRENCH CHESS PIECES ARE OLIVE AND ROSEWOOOD. THE BOARD IS WALNUT AND BIRCH. IT APPEARS THE BOX IS ALSO ROSEWOOD. BEARS ALL ORIGINAL STICKERS. i CALL IT "NEW" BECAUSE IT IS. THE HORSES EVEN HAVE THE COVETED GLASS EYES. CHESS COGNICENTI WILL BE PROUD TO PLAY ON THIS PERFECT, VINTAGE SET - SO I'M TOLD..
