I'm not sure about the value but I'm sure it's worth quite a lot. Do not sell it, keep it since you got it from your Grandpa or wait few more years then it will be worth more.

Thanks for the advice! To be honest I have a lot of stuff from my grandpa and because I`m the only one in the family who appreciate things like these and I dont have anybody to leave it, I`m thinking to sell. Of course only if I get a good offer!

Ohh alright I see. It's up to you if you want to keep it for a while or sell it. My opinion is to keep it since it looks precious and valuable.
woah I would pay way more than 200, 200 doesn't even cover a real staunton official FIDE board.
But I can't afford anything too high. . .
:) Belive me I will keep it for 200. I had a 4 digit in my mind, but like I said I have no clue, but if I`m not getting what`s in my mind I will keep it! I agree with manspider! I think it`s worth more than that! Nice try! :)
Yeah, it's worth quite a bit more than 200. I would imagine a 4 digit number if it's authentic. The problem is these are very difficult to sell. I wouldn't try eBay, though you might do it, sitting with a high reserve or starting bid until someone bites. I don't know if Luke Honey would be interested in this set. http://www.lukehoney.co.uk/ He only normally sells older stuff, but this one is unique. You might try him, otherwise selling directly to a collector, for an example Dermot Rochford might be interested... this seems like the kind of set he *might* like: http://www.chessantiquesonline.com/ I mean, *I* like it, but I'm not prepaired to pay what you'd like. Good luck.

Thanks! I will try to contact them!
Hi I would love to use your pictures on my website chessforchildren.com maybe you can get some buzz and I can educate some kids at the same time?
Your bishop looks like a knight. Ok, it was meant to be a joke. Anyway, I think you should set up the board correctly with with square on the lower-right and bishops and knights swap positions. Then take a picture.
Nm go ahead and use it.
Mgx, I still have it and I will take an other picture soon and upload it.
I didn’t have too much time to go after some collectors or auctions. Anyway if someone knows anybody who might be interested about it let me know . Thanks guys and Merry Christmas

You are more than welcome to use it. I will upload some other pictures later on.
I would like to get some help! I have a uniqe chess set from 1949 when my grandpa served some time in a political prison with a sculpter and they made a chess board and chess figures. The figures are from bread and smut. Anybody can tell me the value of this rare set?
