Old, damaged chess board: is it possible to fix it?
Sort:
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?
In the meantime I could fix it partially, it took only few minutes. 
It is better than before.
Nice fix!
Keep it for the memories and use a new chess board to play on!
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.
The box
I also bought this simple but nice foldable board
WOW! It looks amazing
Thanks :D
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!
You've been busy! Congrats on all your fine acquisitions!!

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