  <p>What I am after is advice from the forum as to what to do? I have stopped playing and collecting a long while ago.

  <p>Sensible comments appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>p.s. for information/interest I have uploaded pictures of the set I have described in this post</p>

Comments.Text: I will try the antique dealer suggestion though as this sounds like a possibility.                     Herb - you need to get out more

Comments.Text: Actually, this sight, specifically for people who care enough about chess to ask bizarre questions about arcane chess moves, would be a pretty good place to find a buyer for what sounds like a nice antique.
