I also found small chalk board 22x16 at an auction, for which I paid $45! It's the same as yours with the wood frame and shelf for chalk...mine also came with the eraser. Thanks for the history of the company!

Re: national school slate company chalk board

I bought a National School Slate chalkboard yesterday at a store in New Hampshire. It is in mint condition, approximately 33x23. (the original seal in in the front-middle position). I paid $57! I just love it in my kitchen!
