Pictured here is an old green, bakelite set of dominos, probably from the 50's. It's a "12 spot" set, and is complete in its original leather box. There's no manufacturer indicated. It looks a lot like the sets they used to play with at Grand & Olive Billiards in St. Louis years ago.

This is a great old set. It's an "18 spot" set (double nine's as opposed to double six's) and appears to be totally handmade. Each domino is made from a piece of ebony and bone laminated together, with the spots hand drilled and painted. They're in the original box. It's really an interesting set, and I'd love to know how old they are. It's difficult to guess, but they could be very, very old.
