Description

These small bakelite doubling cubes with multi-colored faces are most often seen in small travel sets and multi-game omnibus sets by John Samuels and 1941-era boards by E.S. Lowe but also appear in other mid-century sets. They may have been a generically available product of the day. Note the inconsistent numeral schemes.
