A good Late 19th Century Antique English Victorian Brass Cribbage Board mounted upon a plain oak base, the body pierced with holes made to take the ivory or bone pegs used for keeping the score. In the absence of such pegs, ordinary safety matches were, and indeed still are, used for this purpose. In the English Midlands, Cribbage, or Crib, as it is generally known, remains a popular card game to this day, with competitive leagues and friendly matches taking place between teams of players from rival pubs.
