Another quickie, I know (or I'm pretty sure - don't want TJF and the correction-police on my back again!) it's a chess pawn . . .
. . . but while he turns up in both black
and white plastic from time to time, I'm not sure I've ever seen other pieces
to match, which would mean he could be from a draughts/checkers type game with
identical pieces.
He's a dense polystyrene, but a softer
rather than brittle type, and seems to be an Elizabethan or Conquistador
sort of chap. He has green felt baize on the underside and isn't particularly
rare. Kneeling makes him hard to size, but he's between 60 and 70mm maybe.
As most chess (or draughts) sets in plastic
seem to have been issued by known brands, I 'm hoping someone can put a
makers/issuers name to him?
