Hi Everybody.
I picked up a new set and wanted to share it. The pieces are wood, their proportions seem bulbous. The previous owner assured me the box originally contained these chessmen. They look to be Drueke Lardy imports. The highlight I think is the box and and instruction manual. Check out the photos bellow. Lemme know what you think.
I love that set! That's the second dogface set I've ever seen in red white lacquered. Here is mine
Best buy ever: Noj Minceta unweighted.
Very nice sets

I always like your posts @bananamoon - always a subtle nod to the importance that you place on study and function - I picture you studying games, with these lovely pieces and then musing on the options as you stare out the window… 👍

Yours is great. I love them on a green board. I already need a larger board. Now youre giving me something to hunt for. Thank you much. Cheers,

And here’s my last set. It’s the HoS Teramo, but I’m a sucker for figured wood so got it in Zebrano. Needs a bigger board but I don’t mind the pieces being a bit cosy.
I'm in love. These are great. i love the wood grain.

So, I've reached the stage where family and friends go "you play chess, right? I have this old set here, maybe you'll like it" and rlike that, random club sets appear in my household...
Before I start unloading them, I'd like to ask whether they're accidentally valuable.
Like this one. I kinda like the visible grain of the white pieces, so I might keep it, but still: is it anything special?

It looks to be a German Bohemia set. One can be had for under $200 on Etsy if I remember correctly. It is a nice set. I particularly like the queen and knights in this set.
We're actually talking three figures here?
I would have estimated them at 50€... I mean, I paid 25€ for them plus a simple board.
the main board i use now involves red scholastic bag, wooden pieces from poland, & red vinyl board that i always wanted to use as it reminds me of my friend who inspired me in OTB
the pictures are from google but i combined them together since i feel a bit lazy to post a picture, still i like the color red cause it helps me visualize things and wooden pieces feel special cause you can actually feel the spirit behind each move while other types just wear out eventually and you dont sense like if you are actually giving purpose with each move so yeah
I bought the pieces from a scholastic OTB event which happened in the weekend for about 40 bucks which is pretty much a steal considering how much wooden pieces are expensive. they were made in poland and overall have the right amount of weight and feel especially on my red board which matches nicely, its going to definitely be the board i bring to upcoming events!
I can't show mine rn but its a engraved wooden set
Actually, the standard felted Bohemia sets are usually available for around €50.
The higher-grades ones with the "doggie knights" (the one that Chessbazaar makes a copy of), they will fetch more.
The red & white combo is my favorite. What a beauty of a set!
