Hey Everyone,

Shelby here from the Rochester Chess Center.  We bought out an estate sale here in Rochester of one of our customers who passed and ran across this set.  Has the glass eyes on the knights but for some reason there was no white side for the set.  The king has a cracked collar. 

We are looking to see what kind of set this is and wondering if anyone would like to buy it.

It’s a Chavet with glass-eyed knights.  There are a few threads showcasing Chavet sets that have similar examples with glass eyes.   https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-equipment/chavet-ndeg-8?page=1

Contact @WalterBiensur. He should be able to tell you what year that was made.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has the other half.
