SOME OLD BONE DOMINOES FROM DOUBLE NINE TO DOUBLE BLANK

PRICE REDUCED - 2005 celebrated the 200th anniversary of the great battle known as The Battle of Trafalgar. This item is one of many fabulous pieces available from TRAVELLERS IN TIME celebrating that 200th anniversary. Some of the pieces are directly linked to the Napoleonic period or to the famous flagship of Lord Horatio Nelson himself ‘HMS VICTORY’. Some other pieces listed are indirectly linked as souvenir items of Lord Nelson, the battle, his ship or the antiquities of the time.

This is an old collection of dominoes from one to two hundred years ago. They are a very unusual set as they are a set of original ‘double nines’, used in days gone by before the traditional sets used today of the ‘double sixes’.

The dominoes are a full size set from the double nines down to the double blanks, but unfortunately there is one missing. They are made of a combination of wood and bone, and were handmade by an old seafarer when on his days at sea.

They are an old set and are difficult to date, but it is thought that they are anywhere between 150 and 200 years old. They are all in a great condition and are a superb example of the period.

In 1930 Hapag Lloyd Union was formed with North German Lloyd, and in 1972, the company combined with North German Lloyd to become Hapag-Lloyd AG.

By 1872 the company was making weekly passages to New York and had extended their service to include Baltimore, the West Indies, Mexico, South American, China, Japan and Australia.
