Very nice set - exceptionally clean box too.

I have a couple of these in my Solitaire Board collection. Made by Jacob Wolf Spear and Son, a toy manufactuer established in a small town near Nurenberg in the 1870s, and in business until being bought out by Mattel in the 1990s. The Jewish Spears fled to the UK in the 1930s and famously made the very popular Scrabble game.

The board is beech I think and the mibs for these sets are usually transparent banded swirls, although one of my sets has latts and solid cores.

You can see from the instructions on the inside of your box lid, reference to placing the 'red man' in the centre hole. My sets have a dyed red clay marble with the 32 glass handmades - presumably the 'red man', and the centre hole is marked with red dye from years of being stored that way.

Great to see such a fine example!!
