And, in any event, have chess (and checkers) will travel. You will always find someone who plays chess.

Grand Canyon - mitt holder (1)PLACE REPRESENTED: Grand Canyon, Arizona , USA

ITEM: Oven Mitt Holder

NOTES: How many oven mitt holders do you come across? This stylish piece of timber has room for the keys in the half urn whilst your mitts can hang from below. How do I know it as oven mitt holder? By the writing, “Take a holder from this hook, save your fingers when you cook”. The “Grand Canyon Nat’l Park” in a different font and writing indicates this may have been a “insert place name here” souvenir. Still, an oven mitt holder!
