An unusual Staunton set

Today I found in a junk shop in Bern (Switzerland)
this interesting Staunton set. Unweighted, king 85mm. Unusual is the king’s base with 49mm, the same as the queen. Also peculiar is slender stems of all pieces but the knight. I am sure I have a similar  set in my collection, but I have to make some digging to find it.  The white king is inclined.
Here a comparison with a more common Staunton design.

Nice find! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thanks! Do you also collect chess items?

No, I’m too busy collecting guitars, woodworking tools, and losses (chess). 🤣

I truly enjoy seeing the collections when those like yourself post the pictures. The stories too! “ I found this in a junk shop in Bern…”

In the same shop there is a beautiful German acoustic guitar. I have already two and I almost never play, so I am even not Dreamin about buying  a third one. However,  the guitar is just cool...
