Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png): 

I have been collecting Ouija and talking boards for quite some time and just curious to see how much this Charles Kennard board would be worth. It is in great shape with no warping. I do not have the planchette. This is one of the very first boards that was made of solid wood (before the veneer). Three pieces held together by the two pieces in the back as you see in the pic. Also stamped on the back is registered Feby 10 1890.

Thanks

Andrew

here is a link to vintage board sales : http://zohrala.com/ouija/index.htm
It is listing board and planchette sets from the 20' to 40's from $350 -$450
and also has planchettes separately for purchase which you may be interested in.
I understand that your board is older and also is C Kanard but this should give you some idea of value, certainly yours should be worth a similar amount perhaps more. I am not sure how much the missing planchette matters but I suspect quite a bit price wise anyway.
