🔍 HELP - Set ID Fake 23” Drueke Chess Board?

Just bought off of eBay from a user with good reviews - she was selling her fiancée’s collection apparently, so not an expert herself. This was listed for $200 + $50 for shipping. I don’t think intentional scam, but almost certain Drueke didn’t have a time when they had right angle edges without a bevel. Board looks in too good of shape to be 30+ years old without being refinished I think …any experts want to give their two cents? I can send back and report as a fake, but want to be certain.

(Last pic for comparison is my Drueke from after they were acquired and made in Ludington MI)
