Chinese Checkers Board Appraisal

Wooden Chinese Checkers Game Board and Marbles

This item is a vintage or contemporary octagonal wooden Chinese Checkers game board, accompanied by glass game marbles. The board is constructed from a solid wood or a high-quality laminate featuring a vertical grain pattern and a warm amber-toned finish. It measures approximately 12 to 14 inches in diameter and features a star-shaped pattern of 60 drilled indentations designed to hold standard-sized marbles. Notable features include the chamfered edges of the board and the use of primary-colored glass marbles in sets of blue, red, green, and potentially other colors stored on the board. The condition appears well-preserved with some minor surface wear and small visible abrasions near the bottom-left edge, indicating regular use. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced but sturdy recreational item, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century to the present day. There are no clearly visible maker's marks or brand stamps on the top surface. The utilitarian design focuses on classic gameplay aesthetics common for family tabletop games.
