Long Description
I'm interested in learning more about this wooden Oujia board. I have found very little on it except its from around 1920 and is by J.M. Simmons. Â It looks like most board except for the Jewish star and swastika at the bottom. Â On the back it looks like a checker board. Â I bought it from a friend whom owns a primitive store and I'm using it as a Halloween display. Â Thanks.Â

Re: Ouija Board-wooden
Very cool, prior to WWII the swastika was a common motif in many cultures and was mostly understood to be a symbol of good luck (Nazi swastika are distinctive and are usually drawn in red, white, and black.
These boards are uncommon, but show up from time to time on ebay, and usually fetch anywhere from $60-125 depending on condition and completeness (whether it has the original box, planchette, etc..)
