Here is a really cool old DRUEKE/Remotrol MAGNETIC (now would call "TRAVEL") CHESS SET in convenient original case (with the embossed Mounted Knight On His Stallion on the lid)
These Drueke/Remotrol sets were made for U.S. Soldiers in WWII- first in a (non magnetic) "peg version" AND shortly later with "Magnetic Mini Plastic Chessmen"; They continued to be made through about 1978; I guesstimate this set could be dated anywhere from the mid 40's-to 1978 (when production stopped). Likely these sets were also used during the Vietnam War
Chess Board measures 8” x 8” when unfolded; All pieces are here (Plastic; Red & Ivory)
Playing Pieces & Board in Excellent Condition; the box itself has some storage wear; original instructions not present but I have also included:
3 CHESS MASTERY Books; Paperbacks in Good Used Condition; I have given you the original copyright but all of these are undated reprints:
1947 TARRASCH’S BEST GAMES OF CHESS; Selected & Annotated by Fred Reinfeld
1950CHESS IN A NUTSHELL by Fred Reinfeld
1957 MORPHY’S GAMES OF CHESS by Philip W. Sergeant
This set is selling (not just listed for but SOLD for) Between $45-$65 online (Ebay and other sites)
My price is a real bargain- especially with the added books!!!
