I just picked up a game table including the exact same Austrian “coffeehouse” set you have in your compendium. And the 45 piece dominoes. Plus another few games and exchangeable boards for chess, checkers, backgammon and the “molen” game. Green felt top to play bridge and other card games. After seeing your set I know exactly what I found!
I really like your writing style, good information, appreciate it for posting :D. Gwendolin Doug Melquist

Hello Dick
Thank you very much for your information.
And I’m happy that you added a picture of that bone set.
Maybe you could add a picture of the wooden set as well?

I have an Asser & Sherwin box with the same makers mark as yours. You wondered what sort of set the box would have contained. Mine contains a Staunton style bone set. I also have a wooden set which came within a compendium of games retailed by Asser and Sherwin – ‘The Guinea Cabinet of Games’, which is in the Barleycorn style.
Superb, what a weblog it is! This blog gives helpful data to us, keep it up. Michelina Danny Gamali

The sets are not for sale actually.
But if you have a good offer, then maybe I could consider it.

I wonder if you would be interested in making a trade for your 19th-century Mongolian chess set with the bird and rabbit pawns (ref. 23002). I have a modern boxwood carved chu shogi set of pieces that I would offer in trade. I attach a photo of the pieces, and will consider also offering a modern shinkaya chu shogi board with it, if that will make this more attractive.

Hello Edward
Sorry, but chu shogi is not my thing. Moreover I do not want to part that Mongolian set now.
Edward
Thank you for the reply. I regret that I could not interest you in the trade. Best wishes and much success to you.
