My granddad found this chess set in an abandoned house a while back and I was curious about its worth. I haven't been able to find anything about it on the internet. The kings are a good 5" tall, all pieces still have red felt on the bottom, and there is no board. Anybody know what it might go for?
There is a Tolkien Enterprises Chess Set on eBay at the moment (starting bid £75), if you watch the auction you may get an idea of current value.
^__^ Hi, I have the exact same set as you, and was wondering if you ever found out the value? Mine's been in my family for so long we don't even know how it came to be!!!
Not that I want to part with it quite yet unless there's a proper offer one set A LOT like this one also made in 1979 is going for 2,000+ USD!!! so I am hoping that this one is worth the same if not more!!! Here is a pic of mine!!!
^ Click To Enlarge!!!^ A piece is not shown in the picture but it is not lost!!! I believe it's a castle! ^__^

Love is the slowest form of suicide......
I have the 1979 Tolkien Enterprise Chess set as well with all of the pieces and its board but mine has legs on the chess board.
I found a few pictures out there with chess boards like this without the legs but never with so I thought I'd share the knowledge.
(Not for sale) :p
