Summary
A game of Dominoes in its original box. The box is in two parts, the lid being covered in red paper with a paper label printed in green, red, blue, black and white, reading 'Glevum Games, Trade Mark, Made In England, Dominoes'. There are a few letters and numbers in pencil on the base of the box. The twenty-eight dominoes are each made from a rectangle of black-painted wood which has 'Glevum Games, Trade Mark' impressed in the back, and a design impressed on the front of two squares each containing nine flowers. The numbers are formed by impressing appropriate dots to obscure flowers then painting the hollows so formed in white. Total number of items is 30.
