Chess set made from beautiful lamp parts


Leesa sez, "My dad, an inventor/designer (he invented the Tressy doll–the doll with
hair that grows, the
first adjustable television turntable and designed unusual wrought-iron modern furniture)
designed a chess set in 1968 that was made out of 428 lamp parts. Each
set was handmade
(by my mother and grandmother in the basement of our house in the Bronx.)
Over 250 copies were sold in the late sixties/early 70's to high end stores and collectors."

Superb.
