1980s Ambroid Plastic Chess Set Soviet Union USSR Faux Amber Marble WithBoard Case
The product is a vintage 1980s Ambroid plastic chess set representing the Soviet Union USSR. The chess set features faux amber marble pieces and comes with a board case. The chess pieces are made of Ambroid, a specific material that was popular in the Soviet Union during the 1980s. This collectible toy and game item offers a unique glimpse into the historical and cultural significance of Soviet Russia during that time period. Marbled synthetic resin or plastic with beautiful details and glass like look (some pieces have seams and would indicate that they are synthetic or mold pressed) – more like a Bakelite or MCM plastic. Very light, but extremely durable pieces. Both queens are missing small black ball cap inserts in crowns. Board latch button is having some alignment issue and has trouble securing on both sides. I welcome insight or more information as well – I do my best to research and price fairly and always below market at time of listing new items.

Vintage Ambroid Amber Chess Set 1980 Soviet Union USSR Rare
Rare Vintage Ambroid Amber Chess Set from Soviet Union USSR. Chess pieces made of amber (ambroid) were produced by the Kaliningrad Amber Factory in the 1970s and 1980s. The manufacturing process was very expensive: small pieces of amber were placed in molds and transformed into a malleable mass under high pressure of 1000 atmospheres and a temperature of 180-220°C. By using a special pressure regime with the addition of three colors of amber, pressed amber (ambroid) of different shades was obtained. Nowadays, the technology is not used due to its high energy consumption and cost. The products were of such high quality that Soviet ambroid is not considered a fake amber, and dark amber also fluoresces green under ultraviolet light. Its status is that of a lower-grade precious stone. Despite the controversy of such a formulation, it must be acknowledged that ambroid is 100% composed of fossil resin that has been petrified over millions of years. Figures are in pristine condition with no signs of wear, tears, or scuffs. Chessboard surface has a few minor cracks on the lacquer layer which are mainly cosmetic, wood layer itself remains in excellent condition. This set includes a king measuring 10 cm (3.93 in), a queen measuring 9 cm (3.54 in), and pawns measuring 5 cm (1.96 in). The chessboard is 41 cm 41 cm (16.14 in 16.14 in). For the US destinations it’s 10-15 days. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to message me.
