Johannes Lefevre's Civil War pocket chess-board, 1862

Rectangular folding paper chess set, with small oval shaped paper pieces and a cloth case hardcover. Board is off white, with blue and white squares surrounded by a red border with blue stripes along the sides. Written along the top left hand corner is "Johannes LeFevre 126. Reg. N.Y.R. 1862.". Along the bottom left hand corner is written "Chess.". The paper is folded to allow the chess pieces to be placed in between the folds. The pieces are made from a heavier paper and are stamped with the piece symbols in either blue or red on both sides, which vary on each side. Two pieces, were most likely cut later and are not stamped. The front cover is brown fabric, which has been glued to a piece of cardboard, most likely for better support. Written on the cover in pencil is "Chess.".
