Franklin Mint Civil War Chess Set, Gold and Silver Edition (1988): $800.00
The Gold and Silver Edition Civil War Chess Set, produced by the Franklin Mint in 1988 to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg. Like-new condition--the set has remained in its original packaging since I acquired it in the late 1980s. All pieces are present and in excellent condition. The Union pieces are pewter electroplated with gold, and the Confederate pieces are pewter electroplated with sterling silver. The set includes a certificate of authenticity, cards identifying all Union and Confederate figures, and individual cards with historical information about each figure. The lid depicts the Battle of Gettysburg. The lid lifts off so the pieces may be stored in individual indentations.
