All the usual suspects in the cafe next door, we almost took it over!
This Indian set had a few problems but was/is still an unusual example.
The Kempelen automaton
and various knights tours the 'machine' could do.
There were so many replacements on this set, not least the various knights
These are the pawns for the Indian set in the next two pictures,
damaged but repairable
Irish very nice, but missing 8 pawns and 2 pieces
I cant believe anyone actually likes these
A very interesting woodturners catalogue, I show it here in it's entirety.
Interesting part set
A BCD set in the best condition Iv'e ever seen, however the figures weren't very sharp, with some 'flashing' left on
A Status Quo set, also stamped Fisher, 188 Strand. Iv'e always suspected that Fisher was only a retailer, and their signed sets were made by someone else, here is more evidence to support that view.
