Yeah. It is about 90 years old, and stood against the wall behind my aunt's couch for about 40 years. It is a little warped.
Catmandoo, my Aunt too had a very old one when we were kids, but we had to use it without the adults knowing. They said it was dangerous, which of course as kids make you want to use it even more.
I would love to see a picture of yours, especially to see the planchette.
The board has only been around since 1890 (patented 1891) but planchettes are known to have been used in China as far back as 1100 AD, known then as Fuji (planchette writing) to contact the dead and spirit world. Credit Wikipedia
I've always been mystified by that thing but haven't used mine since I bought one about 15 years ago.
