I don't buy many game boards--like signs, I mostly leave them to dealers deeply vested in them--but this one was for me, between the terrific white against green paint on the exterior (a board for a Celtics fan!), and the very beautiful long green and blue-purple points of the backgammon board inside. (Plus I like a board that is also a box, and the rounded sides of this one look like two long book spines.) 19th century; original, untouched surface; with just a couple of  old iron nails added long ago to shore up the split running along one side near the center. Very usable still as a game board but beautiful hung on the wall (hangs flush to the wall) or folded and treated as a box of sorts. I can't decide which side I like better so might be inclined to alternate! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen: 18 1\/2\" x 17\". Closed 17\" x 9 1\/4\" x 3 1\/8\". Old split long ago shored up with two nails, stable and sound now, and hinges are in great shape. Terrific surface inside and out. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48407077912830,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_7964.png?v=1782140201","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/19th-century-original-surface-painted-folk-art-folding-game-board-checks-chess-and-backgammon-inside","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
