Up for auction , a very early handmade 19th C checker board made from one piece of thick board in a great octagon shape. The board is very primitive as you can see from the pictures with the best dry black paint and wonderful aged patina to the wood.You can see the faint pencil marks that make up the other squares that arent painted. The heavy game board measures 16 inch by 17.5 inch. The thickness of the board is 7/8 inch. The board has wear as would be expecte...d for the age , a small bit of wood missing at the top and fade to the black paint . There is a modern hanger on the back so you will be ready to hang it up on your wall.I am also selling the dark green game board if interested. Cat and trencher not for sale ! Thanks.
