Game Board
This game board measures about 29″
square with mesh pockets at the four corners.
It was patented by The Carrom Company,
Ludington, Michigan. This is Style E,
No. 1 Archarena. It is designed to play
Carroms (registered) and checkers
on one side and croquinol on the reverse
side, as well as many other games. It came
with an instruction book (now lost) covering
57 games (I think). Playing pieces are
wooden rings in red, green, and clear,
black. There are also two wooden cues
26″ long.
The game set was bought in 1918 or 1919
by my father, Gilbert Cardinal, while we
lived at Oneida. He particularly enjoyed
playing Carroms with my mother and
me.
A few of the rings have broken.
