What kind of chess set is this? - 2006/09/25 11:18 I learned to play on a plastic set simiular to this one:

Is their a name for this style of peices? The 1 I used was slightly different - esspecially the knight, that wasn't a horse, but a soldier with a funny hat. I also remember the queen amusingly having a pearl necklace, & the pawns didnt have a knob on top. The plastic was dark brown & ivory, but not mottled like the set I linked to..

re:What kind of chess set is this? - 2006/09/25 12:22 The pieces are not that old and they are most likely home made. I have sets made of different materials using that same style. The ones I have are hand painted by my mom. I think she still has the molds to make them. My guess is these are being sold on e-bay by someone who has a set of the same molds.
I think they are very overpriced..
