So much more pleasurable to the throw a pair of old handmade bone dice than new plastic ones, and I think they must be luckier, too! I believe these date to the Civil War era, and are likely a mixed pair--one is a bit grayer in tone and the other flecked a bit more brown--but they are of the same size, just shy of 1/2" across on each side, and very lovely together. Very good antique condition.
