Nicely Wonky Old Single Hand-carved Pine Die, 1 3/4 Inch plated metal cup I believe this dates toI found one wonky old handmade single wooden die a couple of weeks ago, and now here's another this one about 1 3 4" inch square (though not quite square!), late 19th very early 20th century I believe, with pyrographed dots (pips.) I find a single die an empathetic thing to begin with, and one made by hand with a lot of love all the more so. This one found in upstate NY near Lake George. Approx 1 3 4" each side, though it definitely not quite square!
