I read your article about dummy boards in homes and antiques magazine on line, but with great interest. The Bonhams auction dummy board you mention looks very much like a Dummy Board we acquired from an auction in the US this year. Could I send you pictures and get you impression? There are so few about. It depicts a British drummer, Foot soldier. There is some mystery about his uniform as he is wearing a white bear skin hat. We are thrilled to have it but cannot find out very much as it came out of an estate. https://www.homesandantiques.com/antiques/collecting-guides-antiques/experts/what-is-a-dummy-board/
