Here's some pics of a vintage circa 1950s Soviet set. Kings measure 3 1/8" in height. Pawn height 1 5/8". My set looks similar to Cgrau, UpcountryRain and Ronbo's sets but appears be an older version.

I got one of those, according to the information on the box (a russian member of chess.com kindly translated it) it was made in Valdai, Novgorod.
