Since the Staunton Pattern Chessmen were first introduced in 1849, Chess Sets from such prestigious firms as Jaques of London and British Chess Company have come with Production Labels made from paper. While Chess historians have often debated the reasons why paper was the material of choice for something of such importance, history itself has made one thing clear...

Paper Production Labels Do No Last!

In July of 2008, The House of Staunton shattered that traditional with the introduction of our Brass Original Production Plaques. Crafted from the highest quality materials and laser engraved, it is the ultimate way to document the production details of your House of Staunton - brand Chessmen. It is 4.435" x 3.5" and features an industrial-grade adhesive backing - Once affixed and
allowed to cure, it WILL NOT come off.

All House of Staunton-brand Signature Chessmen purchased prior to July of 2008 came with the Paper Production Label. For those customers who own such a set and wish to purchase a Brass Original Production Plaque, we would be happy to accommodate you. The price of the Brass Original Production Plaque is $25.00 USD each. 

There are two basic styles of Brass Original Production Plaque available - With Registrant Name and Without Registrant Name. In the product image above, the name (of the owner of the Chessmen) has been laser-engraved on the plaque, documenting their ownership of this particular Chess set for all eternity. You can choose which style you want at no additional charge.
