Great piece of chess history! In Switzerland we can sometimes find one in flea markets for 10 or 15 dollars. People know a lot about clocks in this country, but few about chess clocks. However, my favorite is not this, but another one, almost unknown in the world of chess collectors. A Swiss clock with a terrific design. I have two if them, perhaps among the most interesting pieces in my whole collection. Should I post a pic here?
Why not?
Have to admit,I think "cgrau" is as classic an act as his photos suggest.....Always surprising me with new stuff.
Hello there, another member pointed out a knight you have in pic 4 that is very similar to the ones in a set I bought this weekend at an estate sale. The board has the early Drueke sticker and based on the fact that everything in the house was top of the line I think this set was probably sold with the board. I was just wondering if you could shed any light as to where the pieces might have come from originally. Thanks for your time - your collection is wonderful!
