I have a family heirloom from the 1830s, a spool cabinet. The cabinet was made by my 4th (or 5th?) Great Grandmother's student, as a forfeit to some game they played at the little Ohio schoolhouse where she taught. There's a note from my 2nd great grandmother, but she failed to mention what game they played. I'm assuming something like checkers by the looks of the "winning" game piece:
I've tried to find information about games that were played during that time, but haven't found anything.
The spools are held in place by square nails.
