Description: Golden Castle Chess Set (1960-1972) - Vintage Estate FindThis vintage Golden Castle chess set, dating from the 1960-1972 period, is a rare and beautifully crafted piece, perfect for collectors and chess enthusiasts alike. The set features finely detailed pieces with a king measuring 3.5 inches tall. The set comes with an original Golden Castle box measuring 18.3 x 8.9 x 2.6 inches which is beautifully fitted with red velvet and individual slots for each piece. The latches on the box have broken off, otherwise it's in great condition. Condition: The set is in great condition for its age, with all the white pieces in excellent shape, showcasing minimal wear. Some black pieces have experienced damage due to internal weighting expanding over time (potentially due to humidity reacting with the internal compound), which led to cracks in two black rooks and lighter damage on one black pawn. Light restoration has been carried out to remove the damaged material and reattach the felt, ensuring the pieces sit flat. Several black pieces have light scuffs in the lacquer.Despite these issues, the set remains a stunning example of mid-20th century craftsmanship, with the overall appearance and integrity well-preserved. This set would make a unique addition to any chess collection or a thoughtful gift for a chess lover.Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of chess history!
