has quite an  presence

and there are a couple of hairline cracks in the wood

gives me the feeling of the first day of the school year and all of the optimism and anticipation that goes along with it

Pair of Antique Bone 1/2 Inch Cube Dice fishing knife has quite an presenceSo much more pleasurable to the throw a pair of old handmade bone dice than new plastic ones, and I think they must be luckier, too! I believe these date to the Civil War era, and are likely a mixed pair one is a bit grayer in tone and the other flecked a bit more brown but they are of the same size, just shy of 1 2" across on each side, and very lovely together. Very good antique condition.
