An Eclectic Mix of Antiques and Collectibles from Central Pennsylvania
This is an old checkerboard made in the mid to late 1800s found in a farm estate in Central Pennsylvania. There is so much to say about the game board. First, there is a brass hanger so the board can be hung on the wall. Notice the ring on the brass holder is solid, a good indicator of the age. The backing is wood attached with square headnails, another indicator of age. There is a drawer on one side custom made to hold the checkers. The drawer is made to fit in the game board and not fall out when hanging on your wall. Notice the old porcelain button pull. The checkers in the drawer are original and have been added to over the years. There are 20 pieces, one is actually an old button! You need 24 pieces to play checkers. You’ll have fun finding old pieces as you can to make a complete set.
There is an age crack on the front of the board, probably from the wood drying over the years. Yet the board is still solid. Also, the end opposite the hanger has damage too. The board is 12 inches square and 1 ¾ inches thick. While not perfect this game board has so much character and will look fabulous hang on your wall in your home or office. Enjoy!
