Steph Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 If I'd had to guess what the ring around these solitaire boards was about, it would have been a place to put marbles after they were jumped. This dome is new to me. Morphy's description: Victorian inlaid Tunbridgeware Marble Board. Circa 1870 of rare octagonal form. Original glass cover is unique making this the perfect board for a very rare set of early marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 p.s., it does look like a rare octagon indeed. a 12 sided octagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
