There's an 1849 Jaques for sale here:

Looks to be nicely restored, no casket though. Bidding has reached £2000 as I write this, too rich for me
gone for 2.000.£ whaouh! very good day for the buyer (see picture)
maybe because it was a 3.5 inch ?
Yup, when it comes to old chess sets size matters. Also, the Knights looked a little suspect to me - I know you expect a bit of variation, but - well have a look at the one on the left especially:

Hello Corky,
Thank to you, and to Carl, of course 
, for having the idea of reproduce this chess pieces.

Hervé
PS: happy that you seem liking my comparative images ...
Extremely excited! I just picked up the Official Staunton/StauntonChessman Registered 1849 Jaque Cooke pieces and coffer. https://www.officialstaunton.com/collections/luxury-chess-pieces/products/1849-registered-complete-staunton-chess-pieces. or here: https://stauntonchessmen.us/shop?olsPage=products%2Fnew-complete-1849-staunton-chessmen-set-save-as-a-set-pieces-case-with-brass-plaques-chessboard-with-case
I'll hope to upload pics when it arrives. The set truly looks beautiful and Stauntonchessmen.us treated me with incredible customer service.
This is my first considerable investment in a chess set and maybe it will satisfy any desire for another set. Would love to get impressions from the sages who have haunted these forums for many years.

"Satisfy any desire for another set"? No, face facts - you're now a chess set addict like the rest of us here and you'll have to buy at least one set a year to satisfy the craving
I'm not a fan of reproductions, but that is a great looking set. I like the "Staunton" stamp on the king.

PS: Sorry but i really found the advertising photographies of the 1849 chess pieces not done good enough, so i will (try) to make good (comparatives) photographies (they will follows).
You cannot imagine the pleasure i have right now...
The chess pieces, (The Knights... The Knights!!!) look really better in real then from the advertising pictures.
...
Before any things:
I buy my chess pieces, i have nothing to do, and do not work for Official Staunton.
I am not a good customer of Official Staunton. ( 3 purchases included those marvellous chess pieces today... YES!!!)
Yes i have receive a gift from Carl : it was the great prize from a contest... in no way relative with my last purchase.
MySeTH,
This is wonderful to hear your initial impressions. I too found this set through Official Staunton, and purchased it through stauntonchessmen.us because I'm based in the United States. Would love to see the pics. I too will plan to post pics when my order arrives. The excitement of anticipation has grown 10-fold with your initial impressions,
@sargon530
Truth is: they are better then what you imagine...
of course, i do not know where are my glasses... but despite all, i have made pictures of the most remarkable, amazing Knights i ever saw even if you compare to an "Original" Jaques Knight...
Let me introduce what i think is the Spirit of Staunton...
(Forgive me if some (all?) are blurry...
(right click : to open the picture in larger size)
...soon i have my glasses back, i will (try) to make others pictures of all the pieces seriously
oops!
I still measured again and ... same muzzle size ... (the black color mistake me) ... sorry for that! Ah! getting old...
I still find that black riders look more like the "Cook" Type 1, and whites like "Cook Type 2.
One thing is certain: they are absolutely perfect! Perfect!!!
Wow, beautiful. Is that the board you'll pair it up with?
Thank you!
it is the only "new" chessboard i own, (from Official Staunton) but could be the one i prefer
... and with my new chess set, it is (to my eyes) really very beautiful.
) which is / may be, really my last purchase of "Staunton" chess pieces.
...as I found my glasses 
(PS: take a look at the "reddish" reflection on the black pawn)
Wow, you've got some extremely nice sets, and very nice boards.
However, your lawn needs work.
