Red, Black and Ochre White Painted Folding Backgammon Game Board, ca 1870-1890
About the Item
Red, black, and ochre white-painted, folding backgammon game board with leaf-like medallions, circa 1870-1890
American Backgammon and checker board, made of softwood, with a case that is hand-dovetailed at one end and nailed at the other (untouched and entirely original), with recessed playing surfaces. Hinged so that it folds at the center, the backgammon side is painted in an appealing shade of red, with black and ochre white pips. These are numbered by hand-painting in beautiful, free-hand brush strokes of grey-green. In the center of the opposing sides are attractive, leaf-like medallions in the same white. The tiny hinges are made of brass.
The checkerboard is comprised of a dark, crimson red and olive grid, with a eucalyptus green border. The edges are paint-decorated to look like tiger maple.
Condition: Minor to modest paint loss and scuffing, with some discoloration from age and soot.

- "Visit to Camp" Rare Card Game by McLaughlin Brother of New York, Ca 1871Located in York County, PA“Visit To Camp,” an extraordinarily rare card game by mclaughlin brothers of new york, circa 1871. This extremely rare card game, designed with Civil War context, was made by McLoughlin Brothers in New York City. The set includes 12 (complete) chromolithographed, character playing cards, and 68 (out of 72) object cards, with various accoutrements. All of the above are housed in a wooden storage box with a slide lid and a chromolithographed, paper label. Played in an ad-lib, story-telling format, the characters include the Colonel, the Captain, the Zouave soldier with red pantaloons, the Rifleman, the Artilleryman, the Riding Master, the Musician, the Ferrier, the Surgeon, the Sapper (engineer), the Sutler (cook), and the Vi Vandeer (a woman who takes care of the troops). Each character was originally linked to 6 objects, which were to be produced by players on demand during a spoken reading of the game’s convoluted story-line. There are actually 69 cards included here, one of which is an object card for “the Chinaman.” Since the card matches the style exactly in printing, shape, and scale, and since there was no Chinaman in this game, I presume that the card must have once accompanied another McLaughlin ad-lib deck. The instructions (reproduced, in scale) list 13 possible players, with the 13th acting as narrator. I could locate only 3 other copies of this extremely rare game, all of which included 12 cards. McLoughlin Brothers is said to have pioneered the systematic use of color printing technologies in children’s books. The publishing firm opened in 1820 and was active until 1920, when it was sold to Milton Bradley. During the early years, the product line included toys in addition to books, among which were games, blocks, and paper dolls. Artwork from famous illustrators such as Thomas Nast, William Momberger, Ida Waugh” (Laura Wasowicz), Justin Howard, and Palmer Cox...Category
