Vintage Backgammon and Chess Sets
This lot features two vintage board games: a Phillip Hastings backgammon set and a wooden chess set. The Phillip Hastings backgammon set boasts a folding wooden board with red and black playing surface, complete with playing pieces, dice, and instructions. The chess set presents a similarly folding wooden board, with green and white squares, and includes a set of wooden chess pieces in both black and white. Both sets exhibit a classic, mid-century aesthetic.
Condition and Collectibility
Both sets show signs of age and use, with wear and tear commensurate with their vintage. The backgammon set’s board has some surface scratches and the chess set’s board shows wear to the folding mechanism. Despite these imperfections, these sets are desirable for collectors of vintage games and those seeking unique, retro home décor. The Phillip Hastings name adds to the collectibility of the backgammon set.
