REENACTOR 18TH C REPRO CHECKER BOARD COLONIAL REV WAR PAINTED RED BLACK GAME OLD

Description

"CHECK" THIS OUT!
Presented new debut freshly picked from the trade field, unsigned, vintage aged hand made with love, in America, a painted Country Checkerboard with tray edges in bright red, black and white painted classic colors in a handy tote along smaller size, or for wall art display.
The tray ends are one inch thick, and wide enough to stand up on its own as I show you above. It also has hidden nails painted or darkened over to make it loos as authentic and aged as possible.
The lovely all solid pine wood (distinguishable grain pattern on rear) is but one way to determine American made, I suggest based upon my experience, this to be a delightful piece made in the Country Living movement of the 1990's time period. One of a kind, and I only have one piece to sell.
The Wood Checkerboard is board only, no game pieces included. It is a thick, solid study piece weighing in at 1.5 pounds unpacked. The main field colors are Indian Oxblood Colonial Red and Black Squares precisely painted, surrounded by an ivory paint wash effect tray end. It measures 12.5" long by 10" rectangle shaped, with a raised tray rim enclosing play area so you don't lose checkers on the floor or in grass, outdoors. The rear is unpainted with a hanging metal sawtooth hook for easy display, which is also very appealing for the primitive home.
Lady Ellen hunts all over her woodlands to find these wonderful hand selected Items for her Reenactors, and I hope you like this special one.

Regarding Shipping Costs, Please leave your 5-Star ratings by the actual costs you were charged, not what "you think" it should be, as I calculate by weight, distance, and insurance in most cases for accuracy, and have no control over seemingly high posted USPS service fees.

Our policy is to refund any overage that exceeds .00 if we can get the job done for a cheaper fee than quoted back into your PayPal account, depending mostly on final destination of item. Please take this into consideration when leaving 5-Star feedback.
