I have a Ouija Board/table made from an old oak tree stump, carbon dated to the late 1700s (from 1770 to 1800) which I purchased at a "witches fair" in Lancashire, it is carved and varnished with letters A-Z and numbers 1-0, the "table" was slightly damaged with a split and in restoring the "table" it had to be split and repositioned, inside was a small A5 sized book "backed" with "animal" skin which turned out to be human, the contents of which are undecypherable with text and graphical representations of local plants, so in respect to Parker Bros and Wadingtons they were not the first to produce Ouija boards but maybe they were the first to commercialise the sale of them at least.
