Wooden inlaid chess table
This amazingly delicate wooden inlaid chess table was made by my great-grandfather Charlie. Inside is a mechanism that once played music.
The hinges are currently rusted, and I'm not sure if they can be fixed but we should try. This special tiny table is at my mother's house.

Do you know if he made many more of these? I picked up one at an estate sale that is almost identical, but the side pattern is different. Mine is is done in black and has a fleur-de-lis look to it.
