(I've bought and sold a few, which also came with a t-square and drafting angles, likely the case here, with a couple of wooden bits mounted to the reverse that would have held them in place.). Of course the beauty of this is the life it has lead, the entire surface covered with ink and graphite drawn doodles--a dense field populated with letters of the alphabet, over and over again in various permutations and configurations, with all sorts of other marks and shapes interspersed. The manifestation of many many hours of effort that could never be recreated--distracted, dreamy, perhaps procrastinatory mark making, one day's doodles nestled in amid those of the day before, or layered over top, and again tomorrow. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eI see 1904, which I take for the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12\" x 10\", all the better in hand. One straight, clean split running the length of the board about 1 inch from edge--neatly glue repaired, detectable really only if looking for it. Otherwise good condition, no warping, warm and wonderful surface to the wood. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48531648807166,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_8440_3ffa3be6-165a-4e40-81ac-f840be8c94d4.png?v=1783037151","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/abc-wxz-1904-densely-doodled-old-wooden-drawing-drafting-board","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
