Mid Century Screen Printed Loon Cribbage Board

October 24, 2015 By cribbage boards for sale Leave a Comment

Mid Century Loon Cribbage Board - Very similar design to the Crisloid Co.'s Cribbage board, but has no manufacturers identification. Either someone used Crisloids board design, or Crisloid may have been manufacturing these as a private label item.Nice Example of a mid century screen printed cribbage board. Estimated to be Circa 1960-70’s.

It is not uncommon to find modern U.S. cribbage boards that were manufactured in the latter half of the 20th Century to have outdoor, or nature scenes incorporated into the design.  It’s a natural progression as these cribbage boards were often taken to the family cottage, or on road trips to help pass the time.

These days board games of all types have been replaced with technology devices such as cell phones, tablets, and personal lap tops, but you can still find many examples like this hiding in a lake cottage closet, or toy chest.

This loon cribbage board was decorated with a simple graphic which seems to have been screen printed. This type of board could have just as easily been manufactured using water slide decal which was common process at the time.

Although it looks very similar to the Crisloid boards that were manufactured during the years mentioned, there is no indication of who the manufacturer actually was. If any of the readers here have come across this board before, or know who may have manufactured it. Please leave your thoughts in the comments section.

Ideally someone may have one of these in the original box, assuming there was a box, which is always a great help in determining the history of a cribbage board.

Vintage Bakelite Cribbage Board

September 28, 2011 By cribbage boards for sale Leave a Comment

Vintage H. Baron Company Bakelite Cribbage Board

One of the favorites in my collection is this very simple vintage No.17 dual track board manufactured from a bakelite material, and produced by the H. Baron Co. Board Measures approximately 10-7/8″ long x 2-1/2″ wide and 5/8″ thick. Still  working on a production date but presumed to be 1950’s-60’s . According to an article at American Cribbage Congress the equipment and manufacturing rights of H. Baron Company was purchased by Crisloid, Inc. in “1972”.

You can search for vintage cribbage boards at Amazon.com

Vintage bakelite cribbage boards and other bakelite items are growing in popularity as collectibles. This very simple 2 track crib board manufactured by the H. Baron Company of New York circa 1950-60’s. The label on the box shows it was purchased at the Navy Exchange, for .85 cents. I would expect in todays market “2011” to pay $15-$25 at an antique store for a little beauty like this.

Two ways to identify a plastic versus Bakelite cribbage boards are:
Weight- Bakelite will typically have a heavier feel to it then plastic. If the item
you are holding seems to b a little heavier than you would expect, there is a good chance you are holding bakelite.
Odor- Bakelite has a very distinct odor, apparently the odor comes from an emission of carbolic acid within the bakelite. You can warm the item under hot water, heat it with a blow drier or sometimes just rub your finger across it vigoursly. If it gives off a more noticabley warm and musty smell, similar to the smell emitted from the back of a television set, there is a good chance your item is bakelite. Another Article Describes the smell as similar to the smell of burnt milk or formaldehyde.

An article hosted at http://www.cribbage.org/collect/article4.asp mentions that the  Are-Jay Game Company – was purchased by Crisloid (rhode island)  in 1973. Being that the box is stamped Are-Jay Game Company so we will presume this board was manufactured pre “1973” , before Crisloid took over.

By itself the board is not terribly extraordinary, however with the original box and being in such fine condition we’d guess this board could bring from $15.00-$25.00 at current auction.

Licensed Products Cribbage Boards : Minnesota Gophers

January 27, 2011 By cribbage boards for sale Leave a Comment

Voicing absolutes and generalizations about any group can be sure to start a fight, but you will probably find in the personality of any avid cribbage board player; strong opinions, an extremely competitive nature and a like for drink (apologies to those who abstain).

Couple those attributes already mentioned with a favorite sport team and you will understand why licensed product cribbage boards, with a college or pro team logo, have  become very popular.

A well crafted cribbage board with your team logo on it can serve multi purpose. When you are not playing cribbage it allows you one more opportunity to voice your allegiance to the team. Check out the photo’s and you’ll find a good example of this in a officially licensed cribbage board displaying the Minnesota Gophers.

The design of this board does a great job of letting you know the name of the team being supported and can be displayed hanging on a wall when not in use. This is a dual track board with 60 pegging holes, so in order to play out a game to 121 the players will need to go around twice. This is probably not the best board if you are playing often, however makes a great conversation piece or scoring board board for a quick pre-game, game.

You can find hundreds of licensed college products at Amazon.com . Amazon also has hundreds of unique cribbage boards available that will allow you to run a continuous track and score 121 points without the twice around.

The board we are using as our example, measures approximately 11-1/4″ x 6-1/4″, was manufactured around “1997”, made of HD Fiber board, with what appears to be a high gloss lacquer finish.

The label on the back shows it was manufactured by; Custom Cribbage, Inc. , Forest Lake Minnesota.   Cribbageboardsforsale.com has no affiliation with this company and does not know whether or not they are currently offering this product.
