Dominoes or Dominos?

Frankly, I have nothing to add to the discourse on dominoes (that goes for theory and design). I just like the boxes.

Read about the history of dominoes here. Read about domino producer, Halsam, here. The company was founded as a block manufacturer in 1917 by brothers-in-law Hal and Sam. Vintage domino sets are readily available on eBay.

The Color of Luxury

Some say it's purple, the color historically associated with royalty. Some say jewel tones. Others swear by black and still others go with gold.

When it comes to an instantaneous communication of affluence however, the colors of these boxes speak their message loud and clear. What's inside? It hardly matters. As for the outside, no need to wrap, a ribbon is just fine.

Didn't they look smashing piled up together under your tree this morning?
