Children's Slate Boards

greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Exchange: A Forum for Antiques and The Arts : One Thread

I recently purchased two child's slate boards - the ones children used in school to do their work on. Does anyone know when they stopped using them? One of them is smaller 6x8 and has one "dovetail" in each corner. It appears newer. The other is 9x13 - has a lot of age on the wood and has two "dovetails" in each corner. The owners name is incised on the top and you can still see math problems etc on the slate.

Any ideas on the values. Th
