I bought this a couple years ago and just recently found it again. Heinrich Franck & Sons operated out of Ludwigsburg, Germany in the 1800s and are still in business in Croatia. The lady I bought it from said they were taking apart an old baby crib and found this board apparently being used as a replacement to a piece that had broken off of the bottom of the crib. It looks like all the lettering and picture are branded into the wood as they are slightly recessed. This was a great buy for me because I used to collect old German coffee grinders. I'm guessing this was part of a box or crate at one time. Measures 19" x 7".
