Calvert Wooden Club-size Set, circa 1815

 
     
     
Jon's main chess page
A classic Calvert set with both white rooks stamped (one white rook also stamped on top.) This is also the largest Calvert wooden set in the collection, King size 4 inches. I believe that the knight carving is from John Calvert's era (1791-1822) rather than his widow Dorothy's era (1822-1839), hence the approximate dating.
