Please help identifying this vintage chess set.
I guess you're right GrandPatzerDave, it says it right here in Wikipedia, and we all know that they're always right.
From now on I'm rookin' instead of castling, LOL.
Informal, incorrect, or old fashioned.
Call me informal or old fashioned. but I still call my knight a horse sometimes and my rook a castle.
Since the rooks have bricks on them, I'd say they are more like castles. ![]()
Looks like a nice set. I'm curious to know the history.
The profile pics of the horse are at a weird angle and make it hard to see.
Flea market find, 3.75" kings, very heavily weighted and extremely well made. Unique castles, and has been refelted at some point.
One of the light bishops has an old, but professional repair using 2 tiny nails on the collar.
Crown stamp on kings side castles, awesome knights, and somewhat elongated bishops.
