Long Description
This board was purchased around 2005 from a dealer who presumed it to be Edwardian period. It came with the checkers pieces and containers.
The board has a matt varnish finish and shows some uneven sun fading. The pieces are also wood. The containers are metal plated (silver? chrome?) on a non-ferrous base metal.
Any help with the date, origin, or any other information would be much appreciated. Thanks.
