Russell Mfg. Co Black and White Playing Card Dominoes hand-painted mid-century vase On the sides of eachAnother terrific set of domino playing cards, these glossy black with over sized white dots, and fun pinkish red on white polka dotted backs with the Russell Games logo at center. This is a complete double nines set in near mint condition, with the original excellent looking box! Mid 1950s I believe. Cards are 2 1 2" x 1 5 8"; box is 1" deep. Three instruction cards provide directions for both dominoes and Muggins.
