Festive Deal Alex's Carved Into, Beautifully Worn 19th Century School Slate With Angled Etched Lines Series [LXRtkglS]

The second of two antique slates listed today; I just can't resist good old ones, especially very well worn ones, with names carved into the frame--here, Alex on one side, and an H on the other. And with more diagonal than straight lines etched into the lower half of the slate on the H side, which I find very beautiful. And quite poetically, the hole for hanging at top center wore all the way through, so another was made just below it. Gorgeous patina to the wood, a lovely thing.

10 3/4" x 7 3/4" and in good antique condition, wonderful patina, with wood worn smooth. Original hole for hanging wore through, so at some point a smaller one below it was added.
