We've seen many posts on new and vintage chess sets and new boards in these forums, but rarely do we find posts on vintage chess boards. So please post your vintage chess boards. Here's some pics of my vintage chess board with squares measuring 2 7/16". The light squares are made of bird's eye maple. Not sure what the dark squares are made of, but they appear to be some type of burl wood. I've also included some pics with my vintage circa 1940 Soviet set. Its made of some type of composite plastic and needs restoration. I'm hoping Alan Dewey can do the repairs.
