The game of cribbage was very popular during the 19th century and continues to this day. Cribbage is a card game and requires a cribbage board as a marker. The boards were usualy made from oak and brass, but the more prestigious ones were made from exotic woods and sometimes ivory and bone.
 
This is a good substantial cribbage board mounted on an oak base. It would have probably been used in a public house or games room of a country house.
 
In good solid condition with no losses, the oak base shows some light scuffs.
