I found this hanging on a wall at a museum around here. Thought it was comical and neat and just couldn't resist sharing with ya'all.. It is a lap table for playing cards. Sent from my Commando
That's exactly what it is. I missed out on getting one a few years ago, when the fellow I was trying to acquire it from suddenly passed away.
That is cool. Somewhere I have a couple of decks of playing cards (unopened) that were reportedly for use on the Hiawatha. My uncle gave them to me back in the late 70's when I moved back home to Montana. That would make a good match. I put them away in a nice safe place, now all I have to do is remember where the safe place is.
