Make-do Chinese checkerboard found in Pennsylvania.  1st quarter 20th century.  15" by 13".  A 6-pointed star on an ivory background is laid out in a blue grid.  Black, green, and blue are used to designate players.  A true make-do, the game was made using a valuable tin litho sign advertising 'Dr Le Gear' medicines.  This is a great example of creativity and another example of the art of the game.
