<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Askett, post: 1802098, member: 4727&quot;]I’d love to get some (any!) information about a set of dominoes that I have. As you will see in the pics, they are in a well-oxidized wood box with dovetailed joints. The box is simply marked in black paint with one stencilled word, “Dominos”. There are&nbsp; 28 dominoes in total, of standard size. They are made of wood, with one side painted white with black paint filling scooped-out divots for the numbers. The other side has been left bare wood. Interestingly, the slices of wood the dominoes are made from are not of a uniform thickness; some dominoes are thicker than others.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I’ve been researching antique domino sets but almost all are made of bone or ivory. Can anyone tell me when these wood ones might date to? Also, is the spelling of “dominos” vs. the more common “dominoes” significant? Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/nuLgiSy.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/YTGfWKZ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/bOa0TaE.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/BURbwbs.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/zLUvR4i.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
