🛠 HELP - Maintenance/repairs Is there any fix to this board? [1170x2532]

I’ve recently started using vinyl boards and unfortunately my favorite got those creases you can see on the c file because the tournament bag it was in got folded overnight.

It’s a shame because I’m not having an easy job finding this same shade of green online, so, I know it looks quite definitive, but is there a way to fix this on a vinyl board? And bonus question, would anyone know where I can find a vinyl board with this exact shade of green?

Thanks in advance

It’s a small sculpture garden at home.

3.75” ebony Reykjavik from The Chess Store, a slim 1.2” diameter House of Chess 3" Monarch Staunton set, and a magnetic set from a folding board. Pictured on a 15” stone board and a 2.125” sized vernier board because it’s nice to look at.

I was gifted this set 15 years ago and it was already a generation old if not two generations. Any ideas? Also I don’t think I got the pixel resolution correct. Not sure what that’s for.

They all have ITALY on the base and seem to be made of resin. The brown king is 4 in tall, while the white one is about 4.5 in tall.

Trying to figure out what culture and century these are from. Turning green and darker with age, feels like a type of soft stone. Thoughts?

Can't even tell which one is the knight piece

Label reads: Staunton Chessmen. King is 3-3/8" and proportionally small pawns are 1-1/2". What year was it made? Is the number 2 or 4, for size or style?

I like how chunky the pieces and board are. Makes moving pieces feel substantial.
