A nice, quite abundant set of antique bone spellicans, 1880s or so, in original box, with a good handful of them with hand-painted details, mostly lending swords colorful handles, but also a few birds. I believe there are pieces for a few different sets here (as is often the case), as the point values appear in handwritten red ink on some and dark ink on others. With a bone hook included among them too. I'll never stop being drawn to sets of these, I just think they're so lovely and special feeling. (And I do currently have another boxless set of about 40 I've not listed; if interested, just let me know.) Played like pick up sticks.
Box measures 4 3/4" x 1 7/8" x 7/8". Wear to the green paper label as evident, but otherwise box and spellicans all in very good antique condition.
