We still use this set of dominoes . . . but have transferred them to another container to preserve the box. I love the graphics from this set, which has been in the family for close to 100 years!

About Me
- Jean Hibben
- Lake Mathews (Perris), CA, United States
- Born in Illinois, I grew up in Wilmette, a northern suburb of Chicago. I have one sibling, an older brother. I am married, for the 2nd time now, to Butch & got 4 children in the deal. They have gone on to make me grandmother 25 times over & great-grandmother to over 20!. After many years working in industry, I got my bachelors and masters degrees in speech communication, & was a professor in that field for 13 years. I retired in 2001 & returned to school & got my doctorate in folklore. Now I meld my two interests - folklore & genealogy - & add my teaching background, resulting in my current profession: speaker/author/entertainer of genealogically-related topics. I play many folk instruments, but my preference is guitar, which I have been playing since 1963. I write the "Aunty Jeff" column for the Informer, newsletter of the Jefferson County NY Gen. Soc. I work in partnership with Gena Philibert-Ortega & Sara Cochran as Genealogy Journeys® where we focus on educating folks about Social History. More about that: genaandjean.blogspot.com.

ReplyDeleteDouble 9's - very nice! One most love the wooden pieces of yesteryear. I have my grandmothers set purchased in New Hampshire in the the 1880's. This set was purchased by my great grandmother and arrived to me through my grandmother born in 1896. The box is wooden and treasured!
Enjoy your Thursday, thank you for the post, I believe a little "game on" is in order.
All my best,
Jennifer
Enjoyed this post. These are very nice and especially so because of the box.
ReplyDeleteWe have some of those old dominoes but alas the box did not survive.
Love the dominos and love the box.
