TreasureGurus Primitive Schoolhouse Chalkboard

Recreate the simple wonder of free time and a creative mind with this lovely antique reproduction Writing Slate. Used in the 18th and 19th century when paper was an expensive and sometimes unattainable commodity, students were taught their "three r's" (reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic) using these small primitive slate boards. This Primitive Schoolhouse Writing Slate is made from real slate with a wood frame and comes with a rustic carrying bag. Perfect Primitive decor, this antique reproduction chalkboard is also useful for a Child's playhouse to play school or office, or to display your daily specials in your kitchen, camp, or coffee shop. The writing slate measures 8 1/2" x 10 1/2" (about the size of a piece of printer paper) and ships brand new, though it very authentic looking, looks just like an antique chalkboard. Please be advised that due to the fragility of the writing chalk, the chalk itself is not guaranteed to arrive in solid pieces.
