Horn chess set bovine bone antique

The king is 2 3/8” tall. The set screws together. It’s hand carved.

Is it bone? That would screw together as I have a set similar to that.

I had no idea that Horn made bone sets. All I ever see available from them is wood. I believe Horn was out of Michigan. Do you have the box? They put the number of the chess set on it.

Tony, I have the same set. When I did some research, I found out that it was made by Ulig. that was a German company that closed in 1920@. The pieces are made out of bone (cow?). Some of these sets had better looking knights. Ulig probably had more than one carver making the knights. The carver who made our knights would probably win the ugly knight prize ! The pieces in my set were made in sections that were screwed together. I also have the original box. It has no markings.

Tony, P.S. I sent the above post before I read the older post your chess sets. It has the same information (with photos) that I sent.

@ZIMBABWAEED19 how did you find they were made by Ulig? I am pretty sure they are American, Horn if I remember correctly. Ulig is know for bone sets, but not these FAIK.

I was told in another post that Horn did make a bone set. My mistake. Probably collaborated and made the box is my guess.
