Description
Lovely near-mint and complete example of this vintage British novelty dominoes game, dating from 1950. Includes a full set of 28 pieces in excellent condition, with little sign of use. Uses similar mechanics as standard dominoes by matching pieces using the first and last letters of the football team names. Full instructions are printed on a label attached to the underside of the box lid. Box lid and base are in excellent condition for age. There is a Patent number 672568 printed on the box label, but no indication of the manufacturer.
Interestingly, on Amazon UK the original patent application is for sale entitled “ORIGINAL PATENT APPLICATION NUMBER 672,568 FOR IMPROVED PIECES FOR PLAYING A DOMINO OR LIKE GAME“. The author is shown as Richard (inventor). Gotsell and the item is dated 1950.
