Drueke Model 63 Walnut & Birch Chess Set – Ohme 1 Design, Mid-Century Modern
This vintage chess set combines the craftsmanship of the Drueke Model 63 board with the distinctive Ohme 1 chess pieces, patented under U.S. Design Patent No. 171280. The board is constructed from solid walnut and birch, featuring 2-inch squares and measuring 21 x 21 inches. It bears the original Drueke label stating "Model 63 – Solid Walnut & Birch."
The chess pieces, designed by Pleasantime, showcase a minimalist, mid-century modern aesthetic. Crafted from wood, they are housed in a box marked "Pleasantime Ohme Chess." This set reflects the design sensibilities of the 1960s, making it both a functional game and a collectible art piece.

In good vintage condition. The board exhibits surface scratches and a small chip on one corner. The chess pieces show wear to the finish consistent with age and use. All components are present and structurally sound.
Dimensions:
Board: 21 x 21 inches, ¾ inch thick
King height: Approximately 3.25 inches
