“St.George” and alike (11)

Named after the St.George chess club in London. Note that Keats uses the name "St.George" for "Régence" sets. I do not do that. Others call these sets "Old English". Again, I do not do that.

Actually, next 2 sets aren't St. George. The Tagua nut set only has slight St.George influence. The German set is often mistakenly sold as St.George.
