I'd guess they date from sometime between the 1910s-1930s

is plenty large to command a shelf

and then the wonderfully varied impressed patterning covering most every inch of them

James Bone Portrait of a Girl in Profile tabletop ironing board I'd guess they date fromFrom a second batch of drawings by Chicago artist James Frederic Bone (1929 2015) I really love this girl or young woman, who seems to carry the weight of the world on her forehead; I think one could project a thousand stories onto her. Hard to beat the line that defines the curl of hair framing her face, and I really love the hard line between her upper and lower lips. Undated, though I believe from the 1960s, and executed in ballpoint pen I believe.
