My husband received this set as a gift in 1975, long before we met. He lived in Providence at the time, and Crisloid Plastics, Inc. was a major manufacturer then. He says he played a game only once, and that was during an electrical blackout. He played by candlelight, and that explains the 3 splotches and a few drips of candle wax on the cover of the booklet.

The carrying case is covered in brown corduroy which has slightly faded on one side from sunlight where another box had been resting on it. Slight wear at the corners. The case opens and closes with 2 clasps which can be locked with the 2 keys which are present. Carrying handle is a lighter shade of corduroy.

Overall size, 15 3/4" long by 12 1/4" wide by 3 1/4" deep when closed. Overall weight is 6 1/2 pounds.

PLEASE NOTE: The accurate measurement of the checkers is 1 3/8" in diameter and 5/16" in width or thickness. Please disregard the measurements in the exchange of letters at the end of the description! Thank you!
