Mercedes-Benz Aachen Design Black Model

Unread post by CHVL » Tue Nov 23, 2021 12:37 pm

A very cool travel chess set with a maze on the reverse side.
The board is heavy despite being in Bakelite. Left and right sides slide out conveniently unmasking 2 drawers holding the tiny metal chess pieces: silver and black. On the back of the board is a challenging built in maze with three tiny ball bearings.
Inside of the box, a document identifies the chess pieces and board set up.
Board dimensions: 5.75” BY 4” BY .75”
Box dimensions: 8.75” BY 5”

The same item exists in white with the Mercedes Logo on the front of the board: Mercedes_Benz_AAchen_White_Model

Pictures to come...
