Hand carved Ivory Chess Set
06 February 2020
Description

I received this Ivory Chess Set from my Great Aunt, C. F. Johnson while she was living in Madras India working for the U. S. Information Service. She started sending me the chess set in 1956 several pieces at a time as they were carved. By 1958 I had the complete set. The set is 3 1/2" (King) to 1 1/2" (Pawn) high.
