Replacement pieces - quality pieces

Product picture

I ordered a replacement chess pieces after some went missing over the past 30 years owning the set. The product came wrapped very well and quickly. The quality of the pieces were very impressive and I could tell some attention put into making the set. Think I’m going to order checkers next!
