National Historical Society Civil War Pewter Chess Checkers Set Franklin Mint

Pewter Civil War Chess Set and Checkers Set. The pewter chess pieces and checker pieces are in excellent condition. The set features 12 historical characters along with the armies, cannons, and mortars. Each piece is finely-sculpted pewter set on a brass base. Although the Franklin Mint featured several different chess sets, the civil-war set remains the most cherished. The board has two scuffs/imperfections as pictured. I also do not have the original certificate of authority or commemorative pamphlets. The chess pieces represented include: The Union King Ulysses S. Grant Queen Clara Barton Bishops George, G. Meade; William Tecumseh Sherman Knights Philip Henry Sheridan; George Armstrong Custer Rooks The Cannon Pawns The Iron Brigade The Confederacy King Robert E. Lee Queen Belle Boyd Bishops Pierre G. Beauregard; Thomas “Stonewall: Jackson Knights Joseph Wheeler; Jeb Stuart Rooks Mortars Pawns The Stonewall Brigade
