Vintage Dominoes in a Wooden Presentation Box
This lot offers a set of vintage dominoes housed in a stained wooden box with a hinged lid. The tiles appear to be made from bone or a bone-like material, with pips set into the surface as dark inlaid circles. The box is a practical and attractive way to store and display the tiles, and its simple construction suits both a games cupboard and a collector’s shelf. The tiles are arranged in neat rows inside the box, and the lid opens to reveal them clearly.
Condition, Originality and Collector Appeal
The dominoes show the expected signs of age, including some surface yellowing and small marks, which are part of their character. The wooden box has minor scratches, wear to the finish and some general handling marks, with the brass hinges and a small brass catch to the front still in place. The hinged lid and catch appear to be original to the box, which adds to its interest as a period piece. Buyers interested in antique games, traditional domino sets or early storage boxes may find this an appealing item. Prospective bidders are encouraged to inspect the lot in person or request further photographs before bidding.
