Reproduced French Lardy Staunton Chess Pieces : 

The famous France based chess piece manufacturer "Lardy" was situated in Dortan, Oyonnax in the French Jura. In 1950s and 60s Lardy exported large numbers of chess sets to the major markets like USA and England, where they were commercialized by games brands such as Cavalier, Drueke, LoweSterling and others. Thus this prompted the local makers like Drueke or Horn and other manufacturers in the USA and Jaques in England to stop or reduce making quality wooden chess pieces. Lardy was the only company which revolutionized the whole chess set indusrty with their affordable prices & excellent chess set quality. The material which was mostly used by the lardy company is Jura boxwood, but maple and softwoods were also used by the french based giant. There's nothing fancy about this chess set but it has a traditional Staunton look which serious chess players admire for regular play.
 
This chess set was also used by Vladek Sheybal in 1963 released James Bond movie, From Russian with Love
