The photograph on the left is of a round Crokinole board painted on a compositional board that is 26 3/4 inches square.
The frame, is a raised metal rim surrounding the playing surface. The round playing surface has three round red concentric circular lines surrounding a "bullseye" in the center. The innermost circular line had 8 raised metal pins - each pin evenly spaced from the other along this line, and covered by plastic tubing. The maker of this board is unknown. The board was distributed about 1960.
The reverse of the base (pictured on the right) is smooth..
The playing surface on this side features an 8x8 Chess/Checker matrix in the center of the board. The Chess or Checker board is the traditional square matrix.
The other markings on this side could be used for another game, but there were no instructions provided with the board. There were no pieces for either the game of Crokinole or Chess or Checkers with the board.
