A couple of months ago I picked up this beautiful hand carved ivory chess set.  Its made by Hang On Ivory Factory, based in  Hong Kong.  So far I haven't been able to gather to much information on it, but I believe it was made between the 1940s and 1960s. So I figured id just show you some pictures, and try to describe it.  My favorite part of this chess set is the detail. If you look at the second picture(the one of the horsemen) their spears are smaller than toothpicks and removable.  You can check it out on my Etsy by the link here.           https://www.etsy.com/listing/93910996/pre-ban-hand-carved-ivory-chess-set
