Long Description
My mother thinks that it may have come from Africa. Someone who grew up in the house was in Africa in the service perhaps around 1930. I think the house was originally built by an old sea Captain. My Grandmother and Grandfather purchased the house in the 1950's. They wanted my Father to tear out a wall in the kitchen which was a divider into the pantry. When my Father took the wall apart this little game was sitting on a two by four totally boarded up for all that time. It looks like there may have been another layer of paper covering the back of it. The back looks like a type of thin wood or paper. The band around the outside is hand tooled.Â
History
Found this item in Grandparents old farm house inside of a covered over wall.
