Late 18th or early
19th century lead sunface fire mark. In early times,
insurance companies gave their clients fire marks to be displayed in
a prominent place on their homes. Without this mark, if there was a
fire, local firefighters would simply let the house burn to the
ground. Aren't we glad this policy changed.
I love this form, its color and surface. Size:
7 x 6.75 inches. Very good condition. Inventory number, 24PD80.

A highly desirable
19th century double sided Parcheesi game board. Measuring
only 16 " square, it remains in an undisturbed state with a stunning
surface that defines excellence. Its perimeter border shows signs of
use, but not abuse. Great color, great surface and overall
condition. I assume the star on its reverse side is a game, but I'm
afraid I don't know what it's called. Inventory number 23PD 300

Unusual early 20th
century double sided game board box. We've seen hundreds of
game boards, but never one in this form. The three color board was
possibly the work of a skilled sign or coach painter as its fine
appointments suggest. Note the detailed pin striping, while not
elaborate, is still a nice simple touch adding additional interest
to the presentation of the board. It can be displayed flat as is,
however the top and bottom can be easily separated making two
individual boards. Size: 19.75 x 12.5 x 3. Excellent condition.
