Rectangular wooden cribbage board. The board is formed from 5 strips of wood, alternating slightly in tone between dark and light (3 dark, 2 light). The 2 light strips are each drilled with 2 rows of 30 holes followed by a single row of 2 holes. The center strip is drilled with a single line of 5 holes on one end and 7 holes on the other end. The reverse has a U-shaped compartment carved into the center strip at one end that closes by inserting a metal plate. Inside, there are several red and unpainted game markers. The words, "JOHN'S TINKER SHOP MARSHFIELD, VERMOTN 05658", are burned into the wood above the compartment. Below the compartment is a round, white sticker with the written inscription, "$11.00".Use
