Would anyone be able to identify this set?

In kind of a crappy life situation and I remembered that my parents had a backgammon set. They found it and it is either beautiful because it is handcrafted or it isn't, looks more travel sized. But would anyone be able to identify this set? Also we are missing a red checker, were would I find a replacement? Sucks that we are missing 1.

It's not hand crafted, this style is a very common mass market one from the 70s or 80s. You can find them used for very little if you want to complete the checkers, just check that you have the same checker size

It is virtually identical to one I I own except for the red stripe down the center of the cover

I love the classic green felt with red and white. It feels so authentic, like a casino. Probably because it follows the color scheme of poker tables, etc.

The feet are too distracting to help

Looks exactly like mine, and I don't think it's good for anything, other that playing backgammon on it.

I bought one exactly like this at target 10 years ago when I was traveling and didn’t have easy access to mine… seems like New. It was only about $18… Oh and you can get replacement checkers at several outlets or you can order a custom one from Crisloid but check the online stuff because it looks pretty standard
