Pair of Leather Butterfly Dice Cups. American, maker unknown, ca. 1900. One cup straight, the other gaffed. A set, seemingly identical in appearance so that one could easily be switched out for the other if a player asked to inspect the cup. The bottom of the gaffed cup can be covertly turned to operate the butterfly mechanism that puts the pair of gaffed dice in play. Smooth in operation. 4 _ x 2 _î. Both cups in very good condition.
