Dear Nick

Just found your posting of the Cribbage Board stamped Frederick Appleby - Retford. This is my G-G-Grandfather who was a pharmacist in the Market Place, Retford between 1840 and 1896 when he died. He had a die which made an incuse mark, in personal possessions made of wood, in this way. I have a number of simililar maked items, and am very interested to read of his cribbage board. He also had an ink stamps for books, and I found one of these in an archive in Australia! Let me know if you are interested in selling.
Best wishes Frederick Appleby (living).
