BG-2026.0144Description
Under the theory that doubling cubes were inspired by bridge indicators, It is possible that this style of doubling cube is among the earliest ever made, as the numeral style and material match those of a bridge pencil set elsewhere in this collection. The distinctive etched lines on the '64' face are characteristic of celluloid ("french ivory"). The numeral scheme is unusual as the numbers along the waist of the cube as shown are on their sides.Category
