American Revolutionary War Themed Commemorative Chess Set
This set is a decorative themed chess set commemorating the American Revolutionary War. It features a complete set of thirty-two highly detailed figural pieces crafted from hand-painted resin or poly-stone, representing iconic historical figures and military units. The American 'General' and 'Lady' side is primary colored in black and gold on silver-toned bases, while the British 'General' and 'Lady' side is dressed in signature red coats on gold-toned bases. Rooks are represented by field cannons, knights by mounted cavalry, and pawns by infantry soldiers. The chessboard itself is a square wooden-framed board with a printed playing surface featuring a 1770s-style map of Boston and Concord, displaying topographical details and military movements. The outer border contains ornate filigree and historical illustrations. The pieces show varying levels of hand-painted detail with a semi-matte finish. Regarding condition, the set appears used with minor scuffs on the wooden frame and potential dust accumulation in the intricate crevices of the figurines. The printing on the board surface remains legible but shows signs of light surface wear consistent with mid-to-late 20th-century manufacture, likely a collectible mass-market item from companies like Franklin Mint or similar specialty gift manufacturers. The craftsmanship emphasizes narrative over professional playability, catering to historical enthusiasts.
