Used to smooth linens in the Continental far north, mangle boards were also presented to brides-to-be as courtship gifts by their aspiring husbands. This example measures about 26" x 6 1/2" x 1 1/8". It, and more lots forthcoming is from the monumental central Florida estate of an art and antique connoisseur in every sense of the word. This bonafide antiquarian truly enjoyed the treasure trove he amassed while engaged in humanitarian and missionary pursuits worldwide.
