I am trying to find a replica of the 1922 London chess set. Does anyone know exactly what kind of set it is? Judging from the photos of Euwe and Capablanca playing with it, it looks similar to the 1849 Staunton set.

Judging from the tournament pictures, it looks like a Jaques Club set from the 1915-1920 periodd — so, concurrent with the tournament

When I get on my PC I’ll post photos of my c. 920 Large Club Jaques.
