"beautiful lamp parts" or beautiful chess set?
Do want!
Huh, that's funny... when I was in high school, we used to use some of those same lamp parts to build things very different from chess pieces. Let's just say that the hollow sections that allowed a lamp wire to pass through, also allowed air to pass through.
That chess set would make a great weed pipe.
Thanks for posting it you guys!
I know a great place for lamp parts. You can purchase parts to make chess pieces at Grand Brass Lamp Parts. Http://www.grandbrass.com . Great fast service.
