Wooden Cork Game Board with Stenciled Folk Art Decor

This item is a wooden game board, likely a variation of a 'Shove Ha'penny' or similar target-based game, or possibly a decorative piece. The main play surface is made of cork, suggesting it's designed for throwing or sliding objects onto it, as cork provides a suitable friction and shock absorption. The board is framed by light-colored wood, possibly maple or birch, with mitered corners indicating a degree of craftsmanship. The overall dimensions appear to be roughly square, large enough to be a tabletop game. Along the top edge, there is a fixed rack featuring nine individual wooden blocks, each stenciled with a black number from '1' to '9'. These blocks appear to be removable or slideable, potentially for scoring or marking targets. The cork surface is decorated with stenciled designs in blue and red. At the top, there's a blue stencil of the alphabet (uppercase and lowercase) followed by numbers '123456789'. Below this, there are red stenciled hearts. Towards the center, there are two distinct stenciled figures: a silhouette of a man in blue and a woman in blue, appearing in period attire (perhaps Colonial or early American), standing facing each other. Below them, in a simpler blue stencil, are the words 'LIFE IS TO SHARE'. Further down on the cork surface, there's another pattern of stenciled red hearts and blue squares arranged in a checkerboard fashion. The wood frame shows signs of light wear consistent with age and use, including subtle scratches and minor scuffs, but no significant damage like cracks or chips are visible. The cork surface also shows some minor surface wear, possibly light discoloration from handling, but the stenciled designs remain clear and largely intact. The numbers on the top blocks show some slight fading or wear to the stenciled paint, but are still perfectly legible. The item exhibits a rustic or folk-art aesthetic, suggesting it could be from the mid-20th century or perhaps a more recent reproduction crafted in a vintage style. The construction is solid, and the craftsmanship of the wooden frame appears to be of good quality, with tight joints.
