VAILLANCOURT CHRISTMAS CHESS SET IN WOOD CASE:
$199.95

VAILLANCOURT CHRISTMAS CHESS SET IN WOOD CASE. Condition is \"Used\". Chess pieces are in mint condition. Board has minor wear and marks (See Pictures)


A LITTLE HISTORY LESSON FROM VAILLANCOURT: IN 1984 THEY HAD TROUBLE KEEPING UP WITH DEMAND SO THEY LICENSED GORHAM SILVER TO REPRODUCE SOME OF THEIR PIECES OVERSEAS TO INCREASE SALES. THEY VISITED THE TAIPEI FACTORY AND TO THEIR SURPRISE THE ITEMS WERE SO PERFECTLY PRODUCED THAT IT WAS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE FROM THE CHALKWARE PIECES.


THIS IS A RARE REPRODUCTION VAILLANCOURT CHESS SET FROM THAT PERIOD. I BELIEVE IT IS MADE OF RESIN OR SOME OTHER COMPOSITE MATERIAL. IT IS HAND PAINTED AND VERY FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL CHALKWARE CHESS SET WHICH WAS LAST SOLD FOR $5000 DOLLARS!! THE PIECES MEASURE APPROX. 2.25\" TO 3.50\" TALL AND ARE STORED IN A FOOTED WOODEN 16\" SQUARE CHEST WHICH HAS A PAPER REPRODUCTION TOP.
