3.25" weighted set in slide box "Lasker" knight, "Hartston" bishop 1885-1890


This set is an interesting transition. It must have been made sometime between 1885-1890.
The knight is the same as those made in 1880-1885, the bishop between 1890-1900.
Both kings are stamped Jaques London, indicating post 1885.





The label is interesting, and must predate those found on the 1890-1900 boxes.



The "Lasker" knights of this small set have the usual variation in carving.
