This listing is for an antique, slate, 2-sided chalkboard that was very popular for school children in the 1700-1800's. If it could talk, just think of the stories this primitive piece could tell!  How many hands has it passed through throughout the years? Who did it belong to? Who wrote on it and what was written? 

NOTE: This piece measures approximately 7 3/4x9 3/4 inches (the 8x10  measurement listed in the title was rounded up so that I has room to fit everything in the description.) See photos for exact measurements using a tape measure. 

The wood has staining and wear to the color, but is sturdy.  The slate has some scratches & groves, but still usable, if needed.  A wonderful, primitive piece!
