Over the past 28 years we have seen thousands of draught sets, which were made out of every kind of material that one could possibly imagine. "Checker Trivia question of the Day". Well when you think you have seen it all then something new appears--a beautiful draught set from Great Britain made out of? You might recall from a previous trivia question that the Cracker Barrel Restaurant chain makes their checker sets and checkerboards out of recycled car seats. (Cont.)

This beautiful draught set is made out of "tin"-- the first tin set that I have ever seen. Other interesting things about the set is that the draughts pieces are bright red and black in color, which is an unusal color combination for draughts pieces. And the cardboard box is hinged and the design on the box is copyrighted. (Cont.)
