As pictured.
This sweet, original (un-restored, in other words) Jacobs is numbered but unsigned.
The board is 7’-11” and just over 19” wide at its sweet spot.

I first posted this as a 70s board but a couple of folks from CA, where it's posted on Craigslist, reached out and put me straight: The board was shaped in the late 1960s, the tell being the fin. And it's unsigned because no one signed boards back then. I knew as much but did not do the sleuthing and could have but didn't ask Hap about this board when I visited him to discuss the Hap Jacobs #1 I sold here back in March.Anyone so inclined can research this particular board once they've got it hanging in their bedroom.
I'm in NY, so there will be shipping costs and you will have to cover those.
Respond with questions. I'll update as I supply answers. Would love to get this board back to its native environs.
Shipping cost is an estimate. You'll pay only the actual cost once it's boxed-up & ready.
PS: I also have three custom-made, chambered balsa boards. One is listed here at eBay, the others are a longboard shaped in Ecuador by the Zhañay brothers, patterned after the Robert August Wingnut Noserider; the other is a 6' 9" Balsaflite shaped in Ecuador by Skip Kosminski. Reach out to the Syracuse, NY, area code, plus eight hundred and two thousand.
