Original Winchester "Double W" cartridge board made circa 1897. Board has hardwood frame with gold painted inner border with outside dimensions of 57" wide and 39 -1/2" tall. Over 100 cartridges formed in the shape of two "W's" surrounding an A.B. Frost print depicting two hunters standing around a bear. Red "Winchester" banner with flying mallard duck on left and moose head on the right with Winchester address in red at bottom. Right hand corner has "Forbes Co. Boston". Back has notation stating "Presented with compliments - Winchester Repeating Arms Co.- Please hang in a prominent place". Board is numbered on back "No. 2062". CONDITION: As found condition with gold border repainted. Some areas of board have been touched up with black and green paint. Some cartridges have been replaced including the 4 gauge paper with Gevelot headstamped shell. Three window shells are replaced with correct shells, but are not the proper window shells. 43 Spanish shell replaced with Dominion 43 Mauser shell. 40-90 Sharps Regular replaced with W.R.A. Co. 45-90 W.C.F. shell. 25-20 Winchester High Velocity replaced with 25-20 Single shot shell and the 45-500 Bullet looks to be a replacement. Still a good honest "Double W" board. DLM
