Vintage Chessmen by Peter Ganine
A set of 'Classic' chessmen designed by sculptor Peter Ganine, 1961. With the box, even. Apparently this set is valued most for the reason that it appeared in some early Star Trek episodes as a prop for a type of space chess. I like it for its modern look and vintage nature. (swapshop)
