1900? Set of 24 wooden checkers. Tan and black. Differing designs on one side of each. In a Marshall Fields box. Unknown source.
These are so worn that it is often difficult to make out what fable is being presented. Oh, to find some listing of them online that would make sense of the numbering system at the bottom of each. On the tan checkers, the verso is always "Stag at the Pool" (if that is indeed the right name for this common verso). The black and tan sets are identical -- and both deeply worn. - Date
- 1900?
