Looks like a typical 3" French Lardy set in matte finish.
Value? I'm gonna guess $100-125 usd depending on condition.
Anyone recognize this chess set?

Jura made boxwood set. Impossible to tell which manufacturer made this one since they all made versions of the flat headed knight as I have shown before from the various makers websites, although that style still seems to have become exclusively associated with Lardy for some reason, which this set may be. A size 3 set is too small for tournaments so an estimate of $100-$125 may be a bit high.

See the discussion on a size 6 with the exact same printing and description in this thread https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-equipment/lardy-chavet-help-iding-this-jura-france-staunton-set
The inscription on the box says:
Hand Carved Chess Set
Style 353 Size 3
- Ancient Finish -
Pol., Weighted-felted
Made in France
The king is 3".
It's at least 30 years old. Wanted to know if anyone knows about this set and potential value.
