Description
If you said this was the most beautiful checker cabinet ever made it would be hard to argue with you. It is right up there among the finest! It is large (18 inches wide, 17 inches deep and 28 inches tall. It is built like the oriental checker fantasy with the revolving gimmick which works incredibly smooth. Like most checker cabinets it is the instantaneous transposition of a large glass of rice and a large stack of checkers.
The quality is superb with a bayonet catch for picking up the checkers. Checkers and gimmicked checkers are wooden not a painted on shell. The doors have a magnetic latch and again the platform revolves without effort..
It is a gem and sure to become the centerpiece of someones collection. Purchased and stored it is in excellent condition. Sold for $2500 new about 6 years ago.
Checkers are 4.5 inches and the tube is 12.5 inches tall. Top removes for packing and travel.
