Mary Schriefens antler boards from Hayward

Local rumor is she used whitetail sheds and flipped them mid game. Some ended up in the Smithsonian.

There was an article in a Wisconsin historical magazine. I will see if I can scan it.

Antler boards are tough to peg, but they look amazing.

Smithsonian list shows a few from the 1800s. Not sure if hers are labeled by name.

If you find photos, please post. I want to build a replica.

My uncle has one that flips. The holes run along the tine and then the base.

Thanks all. If I get sources I will share links or scans.

If you visit the local museum, ask for the Mary Schriefens exhibit file.
