Drueke/Sterling Furniture American chessmen

Sterling Furniture chess set produced for Drueke as a No. 78 set. It looks like the No. 4X set in the Sterling catalogue from 1926 (above) and is still a part of the Drueke game line in the 1946 ad.  Weighted 4 1/2 inch maple set in a mahogany box (no lock).  In very good shape with chips to the ears of three of the four knights.  American artisanship at a very high level. 

As noted by Duncan Pohl, it is interesting how the bishop design prefigures the shape of the bishops in the Player's Choice plastic pieces.

To my eye, the design of the knights in Mike's set (second link) are moving toward Drueke's Player's Choice knights.  

Love the lines of design on those beautiful knights. And you can definitely see the DNA in the Player's Choice Bishops coming from this set. Outstanding example
