Summary
A wooden rectangular cribbage score board decorated with marquetry (circa 1915). There are twelve rectangles each containing ten holes. These holes would house a turned wooden score peg to indicate a player's score. At each end of the wooden score board is a brass plate which swivels. When swivelled into a vertical position each brass plate reveals two holes, which would each have contained a score peg. All four holes are empty. The upper surface of the score board is convex. The score board rests on 4 rounded brass feet. On the underside of the scoreboard handwritten in black ink is: 'Ada [] Parsons, From Uncle David, Oct. 7th 1915'.
