I am asking myself if I could fix this board. Perhaps somebody here has experience with restsurstions?
Boards like this look very antique and valuable to me. Why fix?
Nice fix!
you should teach people at repair-cafes

I just removed the frame, pushed the half sides together and glued the frame. It was easier than I thought. The board has a nice patina. It is probably from the early 20th century and I can use it to expose some old sets - in the case that I organise once an exposition.
I thought I could expose my best sets in the international tournament in Biel. I have to contact the organizators to see if they have interest. But before I should really inform myself better about my sets. I collected a lot but did not do enough research about the items.

I found this nice plastic set today for few money. Nice knights. Unfortunately not weighted, but otherwise a beautiful set made in West Germany by the company Big, 
perhaps in the early 1980s.
WOW! It looks amazing

Have any of the early chess computers? I had a Fidelity Electronics set, with the built-in chess computer (late 1970s). Regrettfully, I gave it away many years ago.

I have some, among others a Novag Adversary Robot in perfect condition.

Have a look on eBay. I've bought a few of these recently and they're often cheap. Be aware that a few sellers are ridiculously expensive though!

I'll probably fix it the same way but with duct tape. :-D
