Measuring 7/16 of an inch square, we have the advantage of being able to date the period of these hand cut bone dice to the British Stamp Act of 1765 by virtue of the original CROWN& < B> G. R. remaining on each of the pair. Required by British export law which mandated a tax be levied on the import of various goods to include all gambling and gaming items, exported bone dice to America were die stamped with the British Crown over GR (King George III). Red ink applied in the stamping was quickly worn away from use leaving only the faintest Crown & G R impression. Accordingly, identifiable examples are infrequently encountered today. This all original period pair remain in pleasing condition demonstrating all the characteristics of period hand cut bone gaming pieces. Each die offers the faint from period handling but clearly recognizable upon close inspection CROWN over G.R. Buy with confidence! We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales! Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly. Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques! |
