<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 48374, member: 44&quot;]I agree, early sets did come in a wood box, as well as yesterday&#039;s dominos.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=%22wood+box%22+dominos&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=YhEQVf2XC9LisASAmoH4BA&amp;ved=0CEAQsAQ&amp;biw=1024&amp;bih=556#tbm=isch&amp;q=%22wood+box+dominos%22" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?q=%22wood+box%22+dominos&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=YhEQVf2XC9LisASAmoH4BA&amp;ved=0CEAQsAQ&amp;biw=1024&amp;bih=556#tbm=isch&amp;q=%22wood+box+dominos%22" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=&quot;wood+box&quot;+dominos&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=YhEQVf2XC9LisASAmoH4BA&amp;ved=0CEAQsAQ&amp;biw=1024&amp;bih=556#tbm=isch&amp;q=&quot;wood+box+dominos&quot;</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I thought like Terry that colored pips were a relatively modern innovation; however, here is set that the seller says is 1940s.

There are 2 seats in this listing, one in a wooden box and another in a cardboard box:</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Two-Sets-of-Halsam-Dragon-Dominoes-Wood-Box-is-Double-6-Double-9-Set-Totals-82-/261795224743?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item3cf4361ca7" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Two-Sets-of-Halsam-Dragon-Dominoes-Wood-Box-is-Double-6-Double-9-Set-Totals-82-/261795224743?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item3cf4361ca7" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Two-Sets-of-Halsam-Dragon-Dominoes-Wood-Box-is-Double-6-Double-9-Set-Totals-82-/261795224743?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item3cf4361ca7</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It appears both Halsam and Milton Bradley did &quot;Dragon Dominoes.&quot; </p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Milton+Bradley+dragon+dominos&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8#q=Milton+Bradley+dragon+dominoes&amp;tbm=shop&amp;spd=15374423232958249024" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Milton+Bradley+dragon+dominos&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8#q=Milton+Bradley+dragon+dominoes&amp;tbm=shop&amp;spd=15374423232958249024" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=Milton+Bradley+dragon+dominos&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8#q=Milton+Bradley+dragon+dominoes&amp;tbm=shop&amp;spd=15374423232958249024</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I definitely believe this is a domino box, but not sure these particular dominoes came in this box. I haven&#039;t any idea on the age of your set because the box and dominoes look like they have been through Hurricane Katrina. Like others have said, these colored pip dominoes may not be original to the box.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
