Title: Drafts board, 1926 [Go to resource]
Description: This is a board for a game of draughts, between Empire Assorted and Breakfast Biscuits. The Breakfast Biscuit was invented by Walter Palmer in 1891. Walter was a trained scientist and had been trying to perfect a medicated biscuit which included yeast, for his friend George Meredith. In 1926 the company mistakenly celebrated its centenary and this board could have been issued as part of those celebrations.
