The Mystery Set [3263x2075]
I stumbled upon this set on eBay some time ago. It was and still is unlike any set I’ve ever seen. I have been unable to identify this set in any way and believe it is one of a kind. Probably made by someone a long time ago as a one off project. Even the storage box is a complete oddity. If anyone has a clue as to the origin of this set, or would just like more detailed pictures, feel free to dm me.
Also, I know the black king and queen are darker. They are painted black. No I don’t know why.

Help Identifying [768 x 1024]
Looking for help identifying a vintage chess set: wooden and foldable, with velvet and elastic bands inside as pictured to hold the chess pieces. The chess pieces were wooden painted white and black, but we no longer have them. Tyia!

Mystery Thrift Store Pieces
Trying to figure out what culture and century these are from. Turning green and darker with age, feels like a type of soft stone. Thoughts?
Can't even tell which one is the knight piece
