Historical Significance of the 1904 American Chess Set

These handmade chess pieces feature a distinctive spire-topped King, an elegant Staunton-style Bishop, and the unique "rabbit or llama" knight, a rare design reminiscent of chess sets manufactured and marketed in the United States between 1870-1890. The original pieces, known for their refined details and distinctive silhouette, were first documented in the famous John G. White collection held at the Cleveland Public Library.

• An Authentic Reproduction: These chess pieces are based on original designs from the American Chess Company, whose advertisements featuring this recognizable set first appeared in the American Chess Magazine in the late 1890s.
