    I've had this chessboard since I was a young boy, handed down to me from someone, but I can't even remember who.

    Any ideas on age? Back is unremarkable, with no markings anywhere. It measures 15 1/4 inches. chessboard.jpg

    Nothing. It is a plain piece of wood.

    Ah... Well, sweet chessboard. Don't know how one would go about dating it so will be interested to hear what others say.
