Description

This folding set resembles a similar one in the collection, but includes dice compartments in the corners that hearken back to Arthur Popper's original patent design. That the implements are all original to the set is strongly suggested by the presence of the keys for the deco locks, which are rarely seen with sets of this vintage. This item has been misplaced.
