Early 1900's Amos n Andy Wood Gambling Table Top Board game pool hall
Early 1900's Amos 'n Andy Gambling Wood Game Table Top Board game pool Hall original old wood game board used in the pool halls of days gone by. It dates around 1900 - 1916 and has great folk art appeal. It would make a great display piece. Made by the Standard Supply Co. out of Asheville, North Carolina, the board was used quite often for gambling. The information I found was as follows, It was a game played on a billiard table on which a thin board with holes has been positioned against an end rail to serve as a target. The player must bank or carom a ball into a hole on the board, thereby scoring an indicated number of points. These games were popular by 1916 (which probably means they were played for 10-15 years before that . They include Amos and Andy, Barnyard Golf, Black Jack, Hatta Boy, Keno, Macs Solitaire, Pigeon Pool, Roulo, Rummy, Scotch Pool, Star, and Turf. Some of the stories that have been told about the use of these boards have been much more colorful. The board measures approximately 46.5 inch x 20 inch large and maybe about 15 lbs, it has chipping along the edges , the right edge is a bit rough and may have gotten wet at some time.
