Vintage Allan Troy Chess Set-Vintage Lardy Set 7A Christmas Set #1 2/3

Description: The state of Arizona is under a stay-at-home order which is making our shipping difficult. We are extending our shipping limit to 20 days. We hope to ship in less time, and we hope soon to be back to our old policy of ten days. We ask for and hope for your patience. Once upon a time, and a very good time it was, chess sets were often made of wood and always made by master craftsmen. Immortal names like "Jaques and Sons" and "Ayres" and "Uhlig" dominated the chess set market. After World War II a French firm, Lardy, set out to capture the wood chess set market. They made both high-end collector's sets and ready-market sets. This is one of the tournament sets made in the 1960s. Lardy is out of business, so this set is a collector's item, though you can use it for tournament play. We call this a "Christmas set" as the felt is red, not the usual green. For the usual green, see "Christmas Set #2." The kings are 3 3/4 inches tall with a 1 1/4 inch base. A few of the pieces have minor damage; one Black bishop, two Black pawns, and one White pawns are minor, even trivial dents and cracks. Please see my non-Sports Illustrated quality photographs. All the pieces are in very good condition without any noticeable "Lardy Leans," a bending of the pieces by some loose lathe work. The men are weighted; The felt is good. We enclose the set in an "El Leon" cigar box for storage. We also add in this board. It is a vinyl board, as you can see in the photographs; the footprint of the board is 20 inches by 20; each square is 2 1/8 inches square. Board shipped separately. I, Ed Yetman, have been a tournament director for 40 years and verify that this set is legal for tournament play according to the U.S. Chess Federation rules, though other directors may disagree. A similar Lardy set recently sold at auction for $313. We combine shipping! To combine, place all your purchases in the shopping cart and press "proceed to checkout." Follow us! We found a number of antique sets! We have an ongoing sale of 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st century chess clocks, books, and sets! Watch for our big sales!
