Description

The listing, 1800's Ebony & Ivory Domino has ended.

Interesting little artifact I attained while visiting friends in Maryland. I was told this Domino was found in the dirt floor of a hidden 5x8 room underneath a "safehouse" on the legendary Underground Railroad. Perhaps escaped slaves once entertained themselves while awaiting safe passage. Who knows what this old game piece was witness to. A novel item to add to your shadowbox or perhaps a lucky pocket piece. FREE SHIPPING IN U.S. AS ALWAYS, HAPPY BIDDING!

Thanks for your input. I was just going off descriptions of similar ones I've seen on the net. From what I read the Ivory ones were in production until about 1850. More readily available materials like bone would be used later. So probably less likely but not impossible
