One thought on “Cribbage board”

I know I didn’t dream this, I’m 100% certain a kid in my 2nd or 3rd grade class in Dunwoody, Ga., brought this piece to class for show-and-tell. As I recall, this person was a direct descendant- or great- great- great/ nephew. Would have been around 1967 – 1968…?

Obviously, this made quite an impression on me as I’ve always remembered the day in class and the historical significance.

Can anyone reading this confirm my recollection?
