It kinda looks like it. I had a much smaller one made in Morocco & it was very handy. This looks like a much larger version.

I think it's felt with Velcro ? I want one too!

Velcro was not invented yet, at that time.

That set has slots that the pieces slide into.

There Velcro sale from 1951 . So, this was insertable.

This is definitely slotted (look closely at the third picture).

 

It is called "The Passport Travel Chess Set". I have one, it is sold out with no indication of restocking. Should have bought three. There is no present source I can direct you too.

I think you could sell those here. Like Penny Blossoms.

This is mine. I also have Chessmate and metal case version. For me, the passport is the best.

Hi everyone please I want very badly the most practical wallet/pocket chess set , magnetic or slot.something that will last years and won't have to worry about losing pieces .it's very hard to find a truly practical one.it seem like slot sets are more practical and more difficult to lose pieces and not worry about magnets falling off and much more flexible,useful,nit worry about it ruining because it's in pocket pants all day.please help.thank you

Me too, I can't find these passport sets for sale, if you find one then let me know! I've bought the cheap ones off amazon but the quality isn't very good at all, if anyone has one they want to sell let me know.

Ziryab Thanks for your post. When I copied the URL in my phone's browser, 9 pocket sets came up. Do you know the name of the set to which you are referring?

No. I only know that David Weinstock gave a set to Tobey Maguire several years ago and that Maguire used it in the film. I'm sure that Weinstock would answer an email inquiry from a potential customer. He's a nice guy.

We found this vintage pocket chess set in my father's items - it is leather with celluloid pieces

Cool set. Love the slots on the side for captured pieces.

Sharon, thank you for sharing.

That is perfect. It has everything, the slots, algebraic notation and real leather.

Well, an extra queen.

I really wish some vendor would duplicate this.

I would purchase six.

I’ve got to look at some of Fischer games.
