Can anyone hazard a guess as to who made this set?  The person I got it from claimed his grandfather owned it and got it from England but he had no more information than this.  He said it was about a century old.  Seems Jaque-y but not Jaques.  King is 3 inches tall.

No box.  Seems solid but may not be weighted.  Not sure.

I'd say different from the Etsy set.  Look at the bishops and the knights. Here are the knights.

looks like a 1938-1940 jaques set. king damaged so may account for it being short. are there stamps on one rook and one knight?
