I recently picked this up and was curious if it is in fact old. It looks and smells old.
Appears to be handmade. The holes on the board look like they were done by hand and not commercial machinery.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Aaron

Nice find ! Looks old and crude !
 
Definitely has some age to it. Nice handmade folk art type of board. It's too bad the top and bottom stars are cut off a little. I have one of the old tin litho ones myself.
 
It looks plenty old to me. I wonder if this was some high school kid's wood shop project 100 years ago. Hard to guess at a value but I think it is cool looking.
 
Interestingly, it's not the right size unless there is a defined game with only 6 marbles per section.
This is how I remember playing it.. with 10 marbles a section to start.
