Vintage chess set question

Avatar of bcrogers27

Good morning, this is my first post and I hope this question is ok to ask. I have, what I think is a vintage chess set, that was given to me by a very special man.. He invested years of life in my kids, teaching them chess and being a mentor to all of them. He was 98 when he left us. My daughter is getting married in Sept and would like to set this chess board up at her wedding in honor of Mr. Karl and also to display her love for chess. Anyway, I just realized a few pieces are missing. Does anyone know where I might could find prices to match this set. Thank you very much!

I can’t find a button to insert a picture! Can anyone help me with that?

I am using my brower but still can't seem to figure out how to add a picture, but I did set my profile picture with the picture of the chess set!

You have to use a browser to insert images.

Thanks Martin_Stahl, I have tried 2 different browers on my laptop, my android phone, and my ipad and I still can't figure it out. But I did figure out how to change my profile picture, and changed it to the chess set. Maybe that will work!

It’s tricky on a phone— I circled the button on the screenshot above from a mobile browser window.

That is the button I have been looking for but I don’t have it.

I wondered if being a new member might be the reason! Thank you all for your help!

Googled a little bit and found a similar set on eBay but with different colors

You chose a good way to post it here. If someone sees it you will get a notice. You will probably find no spare pieces but maybe another incomplete set. Rather a full set. Still unlikely as it was hardly produced in large numbers.

I don't know if both kings are there, but if so, you can set up a beautiful position instead of the starting position for the wedding.
