Description

This ivory chess set was purchased by our family in the early 1960's while in Hong Kong. It is made by the Hang On Ivory Factory in Hong Kong. The set is complete and free of any damage or blemishes. It has been stored away and unused as a keep sake. The box is made of teak. The hand carved ivory pieces are 1 1/2 inches to 8 inches inches in height. One set of ivory was tinted brown. The original packing paper remains inside as well as the velvet interior and elastic holding bands. We would like to know its value.

Thank you.
