| Description: | Made by Arthur R. Braun, Inc. (07/1922 - 08/1979), Cary Illinois. Handsome and attractively designed pegged pieces. Shape of the Chess pieces is engraved deep into the painted top. Patented storage box stores the pieces and the playing board is constructed of two halves that also slide in as the top and bottom to construct the box, perfect to keep in your palm. Both sides of the box have a little "spring action" door that is used to snap-in the captured pieces into the box and prevents them from being lost. Fantastic chess, likely made in the early 1940s as the brochure makes reference to DuPont Nylon, which was just invented a few years earlier. Sale. |
