The dominoes aren't actually antique. The were made by my mother-in-law, and they look great! The rest of the display is antique and comes from the depths of my grandparents' closets.
Careers was published in 1955 by Parker Brothers. Don't think it ever caught on...
Expedition to the moon!
This is an old mah jong set. Unsure of the date, but the pieces are ivory and bamboo.
At first I thought these were an old domino set, but the numbers are the same on each side. Not sure what game they are a part of.
Have you ever seen dice so minuscule?
And we're back to the dominoes hanging on the wall. A great compliment to an old-timey game display.

I remember playing an updated version of Careers in the 80s. Wish I had kept our family's copy.

ReplyDeleteJust wondering if you ever got any other info on the mahjong set? I have the same exact set and have no info on the date or the value on it.
