Early 20th Century Oak Cooperstown Firemen's Tournament Scoreboard, 1902 - An early 20th-century dark-stained hardwood board, likely oak, designed to function as a score or display rack. The piece exhibits a utilitarian style with a modest decorative scrolled top and bottom ledge, consistent with the aesthetic of its period. Centered at the top is a framed paper label that reads: ”Finest COOPERSTOWN Firemen's Tournament AUGUST 7th, 1902.” The main body of the board is constructed with horizontal slats and three vertical strips, each perforated with numerous small peg holes, indicating a mechanism for tracking or holding small items.
