I am so pleased to offer this wonderful New England early 20th century two-sided gameboard. This is a beautiful gameboard with checkers on one side, and parcheesi on the reverse. It is painted in vibrant colors on both sides. The primary colors used are a combination of mustard, brick red, green, with some use of black as highlighting. Some of the decorative designs have some varying colors similar to the main ones used throughout. The board is enclosed in a paint decorated frame with the colors of burnt sienna and lighter hues of the same palette. The parcheesi side has corner blocks of pinwheel stars, and the center block is enclosed in white and contains some from of mythological beast. The checkers side repeats the pinwheel stars with some additional figures and designs around the perimeter of the gameboard. This gameboard is in fine as found condition with typical scrapes and bumps. Both sides have an applied shellac finish which I assume was placed on the board to protect the painted surface. The checkers side has the date "1928" painted in one corner. This could have been done when it was made, or possibly added at a later time. The wonderful wear attests to the authenticity of this great piece! It appears to be secured with early round head nails. It measures 21" x 21" square. This is a fine example of American gameboards
