Shove Hapenny Board
This is a traditional shove-hapenny board, a historic pub game popular in England and beyond. The board is constructed from a single piece of wood, featuring a series of numbered holes, designed for players to slide coins or ‘happenies’ towards. The board exhibits a rustic, hand-crafted aesthetic, indicative of its age and likely origin as a tavern or public house entertainment feature.
Condition
The board shows signs of considerable age and use, with wear and tear consistent with its history. There are visible cracks, surface imperfections, and evidence of past repairs, all contributing to its character. Despite its condition, the board remains a fascinating piece of folk art and a desirable collectible for those interested in pub games, social history, or antique gaming items.
