The pieces have our patented beveled bases and set ships standard with four Queens. The chessmen are housed in a lined blue velvet fitted box with removable trays. The set is fashioned after our exquisite, Collector Series chessmen and produced to a very high quality standard. The set does not come in an expensive mahogany box and there are no markings for the Kingside Knights and Rooks. It is designed to compete with the Indian counterfeit copies of our copyrighted Collector Series chessmen, but at a more favorable price and produced to a much higher quality benchmark The Collector II Series is a fine alternative for those customers who want a high quality chess set, crafted from real ebony (not the "mock" ebony used by the Indian manufacturers), at a reasonable price.
