You would have to know the actual age. " Very Old" is subjective. There are Chinese pewter sets with folding board/box , online for $300. This could be more or less depending on age.
Help value an old set ballpark figure, Please.

Thanks for helping think this one through...the devil is in the details.
It was interesting to find, in the real world, a match to a set on such a historical site.
The seller's price is very reasonable gauged on your $300 find. Would you have a link I cannot find any other matches?

Because of the unique style and size, you might consider a search of Pewter chess pieces on Google or Bing.

Yes thank you, I now understand your deductions.
I came up empty for 'Chinese Pewter Staunton' in both the used and new arenas and immediately came here.
I got off into la la land when I recognized a set from this page. I was thinking it was special in some sort of way. But looking at the page again it also includes some British Lead pieces so I am reconsidering what I thought as 'Mucho Valuable' sets. They seem to be including them just to be comprehensive.
Once again thanks for helping me think this through.
Well they at least seem to be a great match and a part of chess history. They just aren't made of gold.
How would you value a set like this?
How much is a ball park figure?
Did they make a million of these?
