FOX CRAFT Vintage Aluminum Duplicate Bridge Boards 1-12 They are complete with vintage sets of cards in each one. Here’s a special bridge players treat!! Someone had cut out and saved Alfred Sheinwold’s Daily Bridge Column and has included one with each of the trays. Each tray is set up to play the 4 players hands that correspond to the North South East and West hands in the daily bridge column that was cut out and put with that tray! In addition, this unique vintage set is from Pennsylvania. These all came in their original green heavy boxboard box with reinforced metal edges so that the box will not fall apart with the weight of the aluminum trays. The exterior board box has a purchase sticker from the famous Strawbridge and Clothier Department Store (now defunct), for $12.00. The box has some water marks, scuffing and a smear of white paint, but is in very sound and intact condition. Tray number one has cards in the boards that say Keystone Drawn Steel Company, Spring City PA with the KDS Logo. Board number six has red-bordered cards that say ‘The Mc Carter Iron Works Inc. Norristown Penna. C.B.Anfinsen, Assoc. Asphalt Plant Equipment”. Board number 10 has the same cards but with an aqua border. Boards numbered 7, 9, and 11 have card decks with color etchings of flying American waterfowl done by the famous artist Richard E. Bishop. I have provided super sizeable photos of each group of three so you can see the condition of each set. Why aluminum boards instead of plastic? Because aluminum duplicate bridge boards are no longer being made, they are much more durable and valuable. They are better than plastic because they will never crack or break, as plastic boards will do over time. Sheinwold may be best known for his syndicated newspaper column, which ran for more than 30 years. He also prepared the Auto Bridge hands and discussions, and authored Five Weeks to Winning Bridge, which sold more than a million copies – phenomenal sales for a book on a card game. He was principal author of The Kaplan-Sheinwold System of Winning Bridge, the first extended description of the Kaplan-Sheinwold bidding system. Sheinwold's smooth, encouraging writing style made him the most popular bridge author of his time. I am proud to say that my friend’s mother (the late Jane Braik of 29th and Lexington, genius, widow, full time working mom and mother of 5) taught me to play bridge back in the early 70’s, which I found fascinating at the time. When I recently found these boards, I bought them because of my memories of enjoying bridge. I hope the buyer will enjoy then and the memories they recall for them.
