<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 121412, member: 111"]Backgammon/Chess/Checkers folding set made of lacquer inlaid with mother of pearl - can remember seeing them come back with Vietnam War soldiers, suspect they picked them up on R&R in Hong Kong or Singapore, but were probably in production a bit before and after that era. Should have the game pieces with it, and it's fairly low quality for that type of work - thin lacquer over rough wood, carelessly done MOP insets, flimsy hinges and latches (it's still kind of pretty though)...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
