$115 USDCharles Goodall "The Cribbage Board," No. 2297, c.1900
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Goodall 2297
Extremely handsome cribbage board made by Charles Goodall & Son, Ltd., c.1900, called simply "The Cribbage Board," and numbered 2297. It is inlaid with a variety of different woods, and has a rich patina. It was sold to me with 4 bone/ivory pegs – 2 that are a lavender/purple color that match and 2 that are white that do not – that are stored at either end in holes covered by metal swivels, and the pegs fit the peg holes reasonably well. The board sits on small brass feet, and the Goodall label ...
$165 USDTunbridge Ware Cribbage Board, c.1860
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Tunbridge Ware
Excellent rosewood Tunbridge Ware cribbage board, made c.1860, with boxwood or other light wood veneer contrasting the tessellated mosaic. The center panel is a popular Berlin wool work floral pattern used in Tunbridge Ware items. It is bounded by a thin geometric band, which in turn is bounded by the cribbage streets, and the streets are then bounded by another thin geometric band around the edge. The board sits on four turned bun feet that are original, and there is a peg compartment on the ...
$185 USDTunbridge Ware Cribbage Board, c.1850
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Tunbridge Ware (Tumbling Block)
Very beautiful rosewood Tunbridge Ware cribbage board, made c.1850, with boxwood or other light wood veneer and a rare tumbling block center panel that has at least six different woods represented. The center panel is bounded by a thin geometric band, which in turn is bounded by the cribbage streets. The board sits on four turned feet that appear to be original, and there is a peg compartment on the underside of the board that is likewise original. The board measures 9.3" in length by 2.8" in ...
$350 USDRound 3-Track Cribbage Board, MOP and Gem Inlays, c.1880-1900
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Round W/ Mop And Gem Inlays
Extremely handsome and quite rare round 3-track cribbage board, featuring mother of pearl and small gem inlays. The large round central mother of pearl inlay has a faint etched design with an Asian man, similar to the kinds of images that are carved into Chinese ivory cribbage boards of the late 19th century. I am unable to capture this image in the photographs. There are also 3 triangular MOP inlays at the start/finish hole of each track, and at 5-hole intervals there are round metal inlays ...
$350 USDEnglish Cribbage Board, Wood and Ivory Inlays, c.1830
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:English 1830
Gorgeous large English cribbage board, made of birch wood c.1830 and featuring amboyna, satinwood, and ivory inlays. It measures approximately 14.0” by 5.3”, and sits on compressed bun feet. The board came to me without pegs, and I have supplied 4 contemporary bone/ivory pegs that fit the holes reasonably well. The holes are actually very close in size to standard holes on today’s cribbage boards, and contemporary wood pegs – readily available – can probably be used as well. There is a lidded ...
$175 USDGeo. C. Allis Silverplate Cribbage Board, "The Princeton," c.1890
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Allis "The Princeton"
Striking silverplated 3-track cribbage board, named "The Princeton." Although the underside of the board is stamped "Mfg By Geo. C. Allis Derby, CT," according to the Derby Historical Society, George C. Allis was actually a longtime shopkeeper in Derby, who advertised in 1890 that he sold fine watches, jewelry, optical goods, books, and stationary. It is doubtful that he engaged in manufacturing of his own. At that time (end of 19th century) there were many silverplate companies in Connecticut. ...
$600 USDVictorian Boulle Cribbage Board and Game Box, w/ French Ivory Playing Surface c.1870-1900
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Victorian Boulle
Absolutely stunning and unique cribbage board and game box. It is tempting to assert that this outstanding item was made in France, as there is boulle marquetry on each side of the playing surface of the cribbage board; however, in the 4th quarter of the 19th century boulle or buhl marquetry work could be seen on items made in England and other European countries, in addition to France. It is also tempting to describe the piece as a Napoleon III piece, but frankly that seems too early. This is ...
$750 USDNapoleonic Prisoner of War Bone Box w/ Cribbage Streets, Shell Inlays, c.1802-1815
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Napoleonic Bone Box
Small rectangular bone box with cribbage streets and shell inlays. It was not sold to me as a Napoleonic prisoner of war product, and I am not an expert in POW art and artifacts. However, it is virtually identical in size, look, and design (with differences in condition) to a Napoleonic POW box from the Kaplan Collection offered at auction at Christie’s in 2006, and so is thus described here. For those who have the catalogue of the sale of the Kaplan Collection at Christie’s, “Historic Cards and ...
$275 USDMauchline Ware Cribbage Board – Transfer, Tartan, and Hand-Colored Lithograph Finishes, c.1860
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Mauchline Ware
Outstanding Mauchline Ware (Scottish) cribbage board, unusual in that it employs three different finishes commonly associated with this craft. First there are two transfer ware prints with different views of Buxton Gardens, a popular Derbyshire vacation spot in the 19th century and today. Second, there are tartan ware strips between the peg streets; I will not even hazard a guess at the family/clan. Finally, the playing cards in the center appear to have been created by a hand-colored ...
$250 USDLate Georgian or Early Victorian English Cribbage Board, c.1830s
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:English
Gorgeous English cribbage board made of mahogany, with alternating ebony and boxwood inlays on the streets and end holes. The seller to me dated the board “early 19th century.” I think it is late Georgian or early Victorian, and have dated it accordingly. The workmanship on this board is very beautiful. The end holes are rimmed with “eyelet” inlays that appear to me to be ivory. There is a metal (perhaps pewter, conceivably silver) inlay in the center panel with the initials M.D., suggesting the ...
$175 USDLate Georgian or Early Victorian English Cribbage Board, c.1830s
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:English 1830
Very beautiful English cribbage board made of mahogany, with a variety of different wood inlays on the playing surface. From the style of the inlays, and the type of peg compartment used, I think it is late Georgian or early Victorian, and have dated it accordingly. The workmanship on this board is very beautiful. The board sits on four brass ball feet that appear to be original, and are secure to the board. The board is wonderfully shaped and proportioned, with lovely rounded ends, and measures ...
$140 USDEnglish Triangle Cribbage Board, c.1900
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Triangle
Fine triangle cribbage board, a different and relatively rare early design to accommodate a third player. The board came to me without pegs, and I have added 6 wood pegs – 4 natural in tone, 2 brownish in tone. They are stored in a compartment to the underside of the board. They are not new, but do not date to the board. They fit the holes well, while the bone/ivory pegs that I could contribute do not fit the holes at all. This board features ivory inlays for the pegging streets and beautiful ...
$240 USDEnglish Cribbage Board, MOP Inlays, c.1880s
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Victorian (Mop Inlays)
[This description has been amended, as different pegs are now supplied with this board.] Striking English cribbage board, made of what appears to me to be a walnut or mahogany wood, with mother of pearl and lighter wood inlays, from the mid- to late-Victorian period. From the style of the board and workmanship, I have guessed that it dates to the 1880s, but that is very approximate, and it could date as much as 20 years earlier or later. It is a large board, measuring approximately 12.5” long by ...
$275 USDEnglish “Lapout” Cribbage Board w/ Swing-Out Arm For Third Player, c.1900
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Lapout
Superb example of rare “lapout” type cribbage board. A lapout board is one that features an arm that swings out for use by a third player. The only lapout boards that I have ever seen are like the one here for sale, made in England c.1900, although there may be a more modern variant of which I am not aware. The arm is hooked to the side of the board, and pegs are stored in holes inside the main board that are revealed when the arm is released. The board came to me without pegs, and I have added ...
$250 USDDennison’s “Improved Card Box and Cribbage Board,” w/ Game Counting Board, c.1878
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Dennison "Improved Box/Board"
Very rare and ingenious combination card box, cribbage board, and game counting board, made by H.B. Dennison & Co. at Novelty Works c.1878. There are two separate boards that can be joined at the underside to make one box. One of the boards is a cribbage board, and it is believed to be the first “continuous” (not 30-point streets) cribbage board made in the United States, if not the world. The other board has separate tracks for scoring whist, euchre, etc. When the undersides of the two boards ...
$650 USDSilver Cribbage Board, Engraved w/ Playing Cards, c.1885-1890
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Silver W/ Engravings
Stunning silver cribbage board, featuring engravings in the center section of the King and Queen of Spades. These court card engravings appear to have been copied from the standard King and Queen of Spades made by Goodall c.1885-1890, and I have dated the board accordingly. However, because of their great beauty, the Goodall court card designs of this time were adopted and copied by card makers all over the world, including early U.S. makers, and for many years after. Moreover, even if the ...
$275 USDChinese Sandalwood and Ivory/Bone Cribbage Board w/ Hand Carvings, c.1880-1900
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Chinese Sandalwood And Ivory
Extraordinary sandalwood cribbage board with ivory/bone peg streets and inlays, made in China in the late 19th century. The base sandalwood has elaborate floral carvings in the center section, and two of the three center bone/ivory inlays have exquisite carvings as well, with men grouped in what appears to be a garden setting. One of the bone/ivory inlays is plain (uncarved), and it may be a later replacement; however, there is no evidence of any damage or repair in that area of the board. The ...
$165 USDMauchline Ware Cribbage Board, Barmouth Harbour Transfer, c.1860
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Mauchline Ware
Excellent Mauchline Ware (Scottish) cribbage board, with a simple but lovely beveled design and a striking transfer image of Barmouth Harbour and Promenade in Wales. The board came to me without pegs, and the peg holes are very small. I have fashioned simple wood pegs that fit well and seem reasonably appropriate to the look of the board; but they are contemporary. The pegs are housed at the two ends of the board, in holes covered by metal swivels. The board is beveled in the sense that the ...
$175 USDCribbage Board and Card Box w/ Trump Indicator, c.1900
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:English Late Victorian W/ Trump Indicator
An extremely handsome and unusual wood cribbage board and card box, mahogany tone, that appears to me to have been made in England c.1900, although that date is approximate. The board/box has a wonderful patina and finish, and the streets of the cribbage board are subdivided and bounded by a thin inlay of alternating dark and light wood that is quite striking. The box is hinged in the back, and opens to two large compartments that comfortably house two decks of cards, and a smaller ledged ...
$225 USDMeriden Britannia / Rogers Smith “No.34” Cribbage Board, c.1870s
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Meriden "34" Silverplate
Beautiful small silverplated cribbage board with built in peg tray to the underside, made by Rogers Smith & Co., by this time a subsidiary of Meriden Britannia Co. of Meriden, Connecticut. It is what Bemis identifies as Meriden Board No. 34, essentially a small version of Meriden No. 35 (see, T00001148). Bemis reports that Meriden made cribbage boards during the years 1852-1898, and it is reported elsewhere on the Internet that by 1863 Meriden was the largest maker of plated silver in America. ...
$350 USDMeriden Britannia “No.35” Cribbage Board, Quadruple Silverplate, c.1870s
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Meriden "35" Silverplate
Outstanding silverplated cribbage board with built in peg tray to the underside, made by Meriden Britannia Co. of Meriden, Connecticut. It is Meriden Board No. 35. Bemis reports that Meriden made cribbage boards during the years 1852-1898, and it is reported elsewhere on the Internet that by 1863 Meriden was the largest maker of plated silver in America. This board dates later than the more famous Meriden No. 30 (see, T00001147, this shop), and so I have dated this board to the 1870s, although ...
$295 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING Monogram Cribbage Board, Whist/Euchre Wheels, Original Pegs, c.1892
Antiques:Cribbage Boards:Monogram
Rare Monogram Cribbage Board by Monogram Cribbage Board Co., c.1892. Monogram was a United States manufacturer of cribbage boards at the end of the 19th century. The company is known to have made three styles, all three are wooden with identical metal scrollwork. This particular board is made of oak, and the scrollwork is brass. The scrollwork includes wheels with numbers for scoring whist and perhaps euchre. Remarkably, the board has four original pegs. The pegs are housed in a compartment at ...| Items 1 - 22 of 22 | Page 1 of 1 |
