Drueke Plastic Chess Set (unknown model#)

Sort:

Several decades ago, I purchased a Drueke plastic chess set (without extra Queens). I have been reading forums in the last few years about the various models and styles such as the 35(H), 36(H), 32, and 38, and am unsure which set I own. I don't think that it's either 35 or 36 as the base and the Queen's crown are different on those than the one I have. Any information would be appreciated. Photos are included.

But that is really nice!

This is one of the last plastic sets imported by Carrom after they bought Drueke. The actual model number was 832.97, and was identical in size to the rosewood set they sold under model number 820.40.

These sets were not terribly popular, for whatever reason, and Carrom stopped importing them in the late 90’s.

Carrom stopped everything chess-related as you know. What a BLUNDER. 😱

Thank goodness you are still here. I saw you on a years old thread.
What the do you think this is? Very Drueke'ish but the seller insisted they got it in England.
