Shove Ha'Penny No.46

Made in June 2022. The forty-sixth Shove Ha'Penny board in the Oakes & Oakes series. A slight change to the previous sets this one has a spot to keep your chalk.

This set is complimented by five half pennies dated 1919, 1920, 1925, 1936 & 1965. The older coins are naturally worn and smoothed providing a lovely glide across board during play. The board is handmade from solid oak with a walnut coin stopper. The surface has been hand sanded to a super fine grade, oiled with natural oil bringing out the grain of the oak.

Two scoring lanes have been painted with chalkboard paint allowing for ease to chalk up the scores. The nine bays on the board are divided by 1.5 mm deep grooves. This allows for the Oakes & Oakes brass line checker to be used when players are in dispute about whether the coin is within the bay or not. A front oak baton on the underside holds the board solidly in place on a table during play.Branded with the Oakes & Oakes logo each board is numbered on the oak baton.

The board measures : 54 x 30 x 2.5 cmThis set comes with the blue brass line checker. The game wouldn't be complete without a stick of chalk, and now there is a spot to place the chalk. Rules of play and an Oakes & Oakes storage bag also included.

It is therefore suitable for children and adults and is enjoyed both casually at home or in pubs and more seriously in tournaments, leagues and competitions.
