The set was most certainly produced by Lardy and marketed under the Drueke label.

What marks the set as a Drueke is what came with it--the classic Drueke instructions on how to move pieces.
Nice!
You most have good nights in with the board and all that drink.

LOL. The chess table is at one end of the game room. The bar and the beer fridges at the other. In close proximity.
Beautiful set and board Chuck, thanks for sharing
Quite nice. Weighted?

Yes. I haven't put them on the scale, but they're weighted like typical Lardy sets.

Because it's vintage equipment and this is a chess equipment forum.

My pleasure Mike. I like the patina on both.

Really superb, and the old receipt kills me!
Very nice. You never cease to impress!
