Early wooden box with chess and checker boards and velt backgammon on the inside. It is a small board, measuring 22 cm x 22 cm (or 9×9 inches) folded. Inside there is a chess set with very small handmade wooden pieces in French Regency style. Â (king size is only 5,75 cm or 2 1/4 inches high), 20 white and 20 black checkers/backgammon pieces, poker dice and 4 backgammon dice. These early pieces are hand turned with small differences between pieces because of this, pieces are of course all there. I tried to show this in the pictures. Great early game box, guesstimating from the 1930’s. Check out the YouTube video below on some vintage chess!
