very nice ! Did you purchase them all or were some presents ?
the knights I would have hardest time adjusting to are from the left # 1 ( because it's head is down) and # 10 ( head down and unusual base ). All look shiny and in good shape.
which are your favorites ?

The Best Question... These are from chess sets given as presents from some of the Best People in the world ( You gotta Love Your Peeps, and this kind of stuff happens )...!
My favorites are from left to right are: 1, 2, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 ( But really, just like favorite songs...they are all Number Ones to Me ).
The sets are all complete and, a couple sets, ( to Me ) are mind blowing in artistic/craftsmanship quality!
I love playable/ neato, out of the norm sets, ( don't pass on these sets when You find them, as they do not come up too often )!
Thanks much for Your reply
Thank You...
I have no knowledge of most any of my sets origins.
I would like to find more information on these...
My knights
Thank You,
Those are top of the line knights to me, I am no expert but, I love the vintage/ cool looking knights You've shown, Very nice indeed!!!

These are stunning 
I have one really cool set - but it’s not made of wood, I hope it’s still okay to post?
Anyway, it’s hand-painted and was handed down to me by my Uncle! The only downside is that I barely play with it because I’m too scared I’ll break the pieces haha.
I’ve included a photo of the other pieces as well, since I think people might enjoy seeing the others.

No problem with your knights, they ae more than likely of resin and that's OK! Like I always say "the knights make the set" except when i saw some way cool rooks that had a door near the bottom, those were super cool too!

Did you take the shot in portrait mode? Try landscape instead - that seemed to work better for me.

This worked, just put in photoshop and 180'd it...
Nice super old knight too!

Thank you, thank you. Was going to upload other old knights but I don't want to risk looking silly again. Lol.

Post Your old knights, if they need it, I'll set the photos staight.
If You don't post them it would be a loss.
Please put up pics of Your Knights...
I think the Knights are the pieces that makes the set.
I have 12 wooden sets and one set has a mismatched knight, needing
to find a match to it ( he's the second from left in pics 1 and 2, and his temporary stand in is a Lardy... ).
Thanks Folks,
Hoping to see some Beautiful Knights!!!
