Collection of Mr. Selby Shaver, Chapel Hill, NC

This board is illustrated as Plate 155 in THE ART OF THE GAME (2001) by Tim Chambers which features the collection of Selby Shaver. A new shrink-wrapped copy of this reference is included with the lot.

Exceptional paint surfaces with only a few minor digs; normal wear to the frame's extremities exposes the underlying wood. Overall very good condition.
