Checkerboard and Backgammon Board, with Game Pieces, 1840-1860
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 blue and white wooden 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.
