Listing details

Borrowing some provenance info from another person who owns a set of these, as I inherited this and don’t know more about it. Excellent condition, complete set. Antique signed George Chambers scrimshaw bone sailors pocket dice game, with cup and cover. The design includes face cards and suits, along with dice. It is dated 1873. Similar games claim to be Chinese made, possibly George Chambers was an importer. It measures 1-3/4” tall and 1-7/16” in diameter. It is in very good condition with normal wear. Unusual piece of 19th century nautical history.
