vintage wall hanging blackboard chalkboard w/ green painted wood rail, rustic sign or message center

Cute old wood hardboard chalk board, 1940s or 50s vintage. I like that worn green painted wood rail to hold the chalk. And I love the size, about 12" x 18" overall, smallish and easy to hang.

It's been used, and the blackboard surface shows wear and traces of writing. Chalk doesn't work very well on it, but it never did on the older chalkboards - at least, nothing at all as well as the ones with the more modern finishes. But the new boards (blackboards or whiteboards) are so ugly, I think it's worth having to take a little more trouble with your chalk.
