    Description

    Offered here is a complete set of vintage chess pieces.
    They come in a Cavalier Chess box.
    However, I don't know if this this is the original box.
    When I searched the internet for metal Cavalier chess sets
    I don't see anything resembling these.
    All pieces appear to be the same for each side except for the kings. I've included close-ups of the kings so you can see how they differ.
    The silver pieces have red felt bottoms.
    The gold pieces have green felt bottoms.
    I don't really know what kind of metal these are, though I suspect pewter.
    I did notice that one of the queen's noses is somewhat flattened, suggesting a soft metal.
    They do have cast-mold marks and are pretty heavy.
    They look fairly vintage; I would guess 1950s or earlier.
    The kings are about 3.25" tall.
    The set weighs close to 5 lbs.
