By garrard, 19 November, 2007

The pieces range from about one and a half too two and a half inches tall. The kings,queens, knights, bishops, and roukes are very detailed.  i cant tell if they are carved or cast.  they are made of solid brass, and weigh from a quater to one pound. they are pretty old as far as i can tell the house they were found in has been vacant for at least the last thirty years.  they have not been cleaned and are a dull brass color.
