Lot 509
Snake Eyes. A craps-like game manufactured by Selchow & Righter Co, New York, published in the 1930s and reissued in the 1950s. This is No. 27, the edition created for 2 to 6 players. The cover shows a stereotypical African-American couple, the man with wide red lips and the woman with an Aunt Jemima look; both have bulbous eyes. There are ten sets of cards, a set of dice, and numerous small chips. The object of the game is to be the first to turn all of the cards face down. Very good; some wear and one small puncture in lid.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
From an African-American dealer who specializes in African-American memorabilia.
