Art Deco Cheating Dice Charm
$800.00
Description
DATE: Art Deco, c.1920
Interesting gold dice charm dating from the 1920s. The six face is missing one dot... meaning? Is it a cheating dice? You could certainly win good money in a bar with such a device... "fifty rolls and I bet you won't roll a six". Or did the maker simply forget to punch the last hole? Some sort of mental slip-up. To be honest, I have no idea, but it's an interesting quirk. Crafted in 15 karat gold.
