I've been visiting some of the old Drueke threads on the forum trying to figure out whether the set I just bought online is a single, double or triple weight. In trying to answer that question I also came across some information on the history of the company that I thought might be of interest.

This is the history of the Drueke family:

And here is the link to the Drueke games catalogue from 1977-78:

The first page has links to Drueke's Beginners Book of Chess (1917):

and also their Drueke's Chess Primer (1932):

I apologize if I'm repeating information that is available elsewhere in the forums. There are a lot of great old pictures on the main page.
