I have seen the term 'Proto Lardy' used in reference to sets, but I'm not sure what it means. Does it mean that it's an early Lardy set? ... or what?
I have this set (3-inch king, weighted and felted, but with a couple mis-matched pieces) that has a lot of wear and seems to indicate old age, and looks like a "proto-Lardy" set on the Chess Museum web site. Is it a proto-Lardy set?
