Double-Sided Antique School Slate with Jointed Corners and Carved Initials vintage color wheel This medal to honor youngI have a hard time resisting beautiful old school slates made with real slate and jointed corners like this one. Even better when they have a hole at top for hanging, and what I believe are the initials (AL) of their one time owner carved into the wood. And, on this one, the traces of rows and rows of old cursive writing are still visible on the stone if you look for them. Very good condition and certainly still usable as a chalkboard there are
