How much are hand carved wooden chess sets worth?
Recently picked one up for $13 at an estate sale, I honestly don't believe this woman knew what she had. Hand carved backgammon/chess set. Folds up. Very intricately made, was wondering if anyone knew approximately what it's worth? I know chess set collectors will pay top dollar for nice boards. Thanks!
Something like that is worth only what someone is willing to pay. Knowledgeable collectors look for markings that identify the maker and date of manufacture. Minus any markings, the piece will probably fall into one of two categories: Mass-produced (and it may only look hand-carved but is actually machined to look that way) or a one-off piece made by an amateur that would fall into the realm of folk art.
You can start by researching any identifying marks you can see. Absent any at all, it's not likely to be of great value.

The Collectors - $9.99 In this independent drama, Logan (Adam Abram) is a young man with a great talent in the martial arts -- a gift he inherited from his father. However, when Logan loses the use of his legs in a auto accident, he's left with little reason to go on, and his father doesn't shy away from expressing his disappointment, especially as his father has recently lost his job. Logan's grandfather is sympathetic to his situation, and with the young man in mind he designs a hyper-realistic video game which will allow Logan to virtually exercise the fighting skills his body no longer allows. But Logan spends too much time with the game, and eventually finds himself lost somewhere between cyberspace and reality. The Collectors was written and directed by John Lyde, who has also directed several independent films relating to issues within the Mormon faith. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |
