inflation and currency conversion

edit

Just wondering what the current price in USD/Euro would be for 155 marks in the range he sold them? Germany was going through hyperinflation at this point, so I'm curious what the rough equivalent would be in today's money for the standard and hand-crafted sets.

Popularity of the design of his chess set

edit

Are there any articles on the popularity of this design? I find it the ugliest chess set I've ever seen, with nothing else even close. John Link (talk) 01:25, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Other examples of sculpture

edit

I think the article ought to discuss Josef Hartwig's his skill as a sculptor (or lack thereof), and include reference to his sculpture beside the chess set. I haven't been able to find any examples. John Link (talk) 01:33, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
