(Disney, c. 1990's). A very rare prototype Disney chess set that only a few were made of. Of these prototypes, we know of one that sold previously in Heritage Auctions, where they note that they originally believed there had been only one of these prototypes but had since learned there were a few others. Like the other prototype sold in HA, this one was not created with a chess board, but otherwise is complete with a full set of intricate character chess pieces. The chess sets were originally scheduled to be released in a limited edition of 750. The work in creating a single set, however, was so labor intensive that only a few kits were ever completed and the limited editon series was abandoned. Produced by the Fine Art wing of Disney, "The Art of Disney", by Disney character artists Ralph Kent and Pete Emsile. The chess pieces are Western themed with Mickey Mouse squaring off against Peg-Leg Pete. Also including several other Disney favorite characters like Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, Pluto and more. The set is in good condition with normal wear from age and minimal handling. Approximately 18 1/2 x 14 x 18
