There are some versions of the same chess set available in the market. We have available this chess set at our website in two versions. Both of versions of this chess set were introduced to us by the two famous chess collectors. According to the information provided to us by these chess collectors, this is the early version of the 1849 chess set which had been introduced by Mr. Nathaniel Cooke to Jacques of London, UK who had first produced this hallmark in the year 1849. Nathaniel Cooke registered his design at the UK Patent Office on 1 March 1849. As he was the editor of The Illustrated London News, the newspaper where Howard Staunton wrote a regular chess column, he asked Staunton to advertise his chess set. Staunton did so in his column on 8 September 1849, and the chess set became famous under the name of Staunton.
