UP FOR AUCTION IS A VINTAGE 23" DRUEKE SOLID WOOD #64 CHESS BOARD WITH 2 1/4" SQUARES WITH BOX--EXCELLENT CONDITION

THIS CHESS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION

FROM 1960S-1970S

BOX IS IN FAIR CONDITION--NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE ORIGINAL BOX--I DID TAPE THE 2 ENDS OF THE BOX TO SECURE THE BOARD

ONE CORNER OF THE BOARD IS DAMAGED (SEE PICTURES 9-13-14-15 AND ANOTHER CORNER HAS SLIGHT DAMAGE (SEE PICTURE 12)

SIZE OF THE BOARD IS 23" SQUARE

THE CHESS SQUARES ARE 2 1/4"

THE BORDERS ARE 2 1/2"

BOTH SIDE ARE PLAYABLE

IS A LARGE AND HEAVY BOARD

ONE SIDE HAS A STICKER ON IT THAT SAYS "DRUEKE SPARTA MICHIGAN"

I BELIEVE IT IS MADE OF MAPLE AND WALNUT-(NOT SURE)

NOT SURE IF THE BOX IS ORIGINAL IT IS MARKED #64 ON THE ONE SIDE

FEW CHESS BOARDS IN AMERICA HAVE THE HISTORY OF THE DRUEKE CHESS.  BOARDS ARE NEITHER VENEER NOR INLAYS-THEY ARE ACTUAL SOLID BLOCKS OF WOOD MADE FROM AMERICAN WALNUT AND MAPLE.  CAN BE RECOGNIZED BY THE SIGNATURE GROOVED EDGING AROUND THE PLAYING SURFACE.

PROPER SIZE FOR MANY "EXECUTIVE" SIZE CHESS PIECES THAT ARE 3" TO 3 1/2" TALL.
