Original Vintage Mid-Century Modern 1962 Austin Enterprises Aluminum Chess Set. These sets were made by Austin Enterprises from extruded aluminum as gifts for executives at Alcoa aluminum. Even back in 1962 it was recognized that this set was so singular in its design that it was considered more of an art piece rather than a game, and as such the box is made to be mounted on the wall. Some refer to this as the holy Grail of chess sets. The box has minor damage as indicated in the photograph. A small piece of the support for the very last piece has broken. Other than as indicated, it is in excellent condition for his age. Please review the photographs carefully as they are part of the description. Here is a chance for you to own a legendary, chess set.
