DOMINOES - Handmade Early American Set In Handmade Wooden Box - 1770-1820

I wanted to share these because this is the first set I've come across. These are authentic early American dominoes. Even better, they are still in the wooden box, which resembles a slide-top candle box.

"These were made of bone; their white and black halves are joined by brass pins."

These are remarkable, the black dots are painted inside the tiny carved depressions. Looks like imported ebony wood was used on the backside, and like mentioned above they are held together by brass pins. 250 years later they are still together and in playable condition. Can't wait to play with these, hope you enjoy!
