Checkers and Backgammon Board, 1937-1946
01
Artifact Overview
Game players had options with this foldable board game set--on one side was a checkerboard, the other a backgammon board. Players used black and red markers for each game. When not in use, the board folded up, making it portable and creating a compartment to hold the pieces so they would not be lost.
