Houghton & Gunn Games Board
80948
This mahogany games board folds down to a quarter of its size for travel.
When set up, its brass sliding bolts lock each quarter securely to it's neighbours to give a rigid board. It could be used in a train carriage by players sat opposite each other with the board resting on their knees or it could be set on an ordinary table to turn it into a card table. It has an engraved name plate for Houghton & Gunn of 162 New Bond Street, London. Houghton and Gunn joined in partnership around 1868 although William Houghton was in business many years prior to this. In 1906 they amalgamated with Asprey & Co. Ltd. They also sold a similar board with bezique markers. Late 19th to early 20th century.
