Wooden Chess Pieces - Margate

Description

Listing is for a used complete set of Margate series chess pieces in genuine Ebony and antiqued boxwood, originally purchased from House of Staunton.  Total 38 pieces, including extra queens in each color, as well as Sutton Coldfield style knights in addition to the Staunton style knights (see photos for the different knight styles).  Photos are taken on a board with 2 3/8" squares.  The board is not included in the listing.  King height is 4.0" and base is 1.7". Total weight of set is roughly 72 ounces.
There are small nicks on 8 of the 19 light colored pieces (5 pawns, 2 queens, 1 knight).  In an effort to be both transparent, but also provide some perspective, I have included 3 sets of photos to show what the pieces look like before your attention is drawn to the nicks, followed by the same photo with the nicks circled.  The last photo illustrates what I view to be the most evident nick.  Note - since there is a 12-photo limit on an eBay listing I have not included a photo of every piece with a nick - what is shown are 3 of the 5 nicked pawns, both nicked queens, and the 1 nicked knight.  They range in severity from being relatively subtle (queen on left) to the most evident (pawn on its side).  The pieces were stored in a chess box when not in use - they were not abused.  Nevertheless, the nicks are there.  All of the pieces with nicks are also in the full set photo.
There are no nicks on the Ebony pieces.
I have discounted the set nearly 50% from what I paid.  Thanks for looking.
