Hi, I do not known if you have an answer before, but here is what I know:
the black slate stone (sorry my english) with the square pattern is a kid
blackboard, very common XIXtrh century until my fatherīs time at primary
school (1920?), paper was expensive, each one was his own board and chalk.
Reference: my "Litica historica" book.
There is a toy, a naval battle cannon, this is probably middle XIXth century
or late, of iron is my first, this kind here are bronce of ca. 1860-1880.
lucks
