Exceptional vintage backgammon set featuring a complete set of 30 large Catalin / Bakelite phenolic checkers in a particularly attractive and uncommon color combination.

The darker checkers display a dramatic deep Galaxy Brown / chocolate-brown base with rich golden and caramel marbling, while the contrasting set features classic marbled butterscotch tones. Each checker has its own individual swirling pattern, giving the set exceptional visual depth and character.

The checkers are large tournament-size pieces measuring approximately 37 mm in diameter and 8.4 mm thick.

Total weight of the 30 checkers is approximately 356 grams.

The phenolic material has been tested and is consistent with vintage Bakelite / Catalin.

The complete set includes:

• 30 large marbled Catalin / Bakelite checkers

• Vintage folding backgammon case / playing board

• Pair of dice cups

• Dice

• Doubling cube

• Original instruction booklet

The instruction booklet is marked H.I.T. Industries Ltd., Avenel, New Jersey.

The combination of large size, substantial weight, strong marbling and unusual Galaxy Brown / butterscotch coloration makes this a particularly striking vintage set.

Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear to the case and accessories. The checkers display beautifully. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the description.
