Set of Three Large Fancy Scrimshawed Ivory Dice. American, ca. 1890. Very unusual in that the surfaces are not flat but have inset circles in which the numbers have been scrimshawed. One dice has minor damage. Three dice may be used in the game of Chuck-a-Luck or in a Hieronymus Tub. 2” across diagonally.
