    Antique Box of Dominoes Germany
    ***
    From the box cover illustration and acorn floral embossed design of the dominoes, I think it can be safely inferred these are of the Victorian era, probably about 1870 to 1910
    Small bits of nature were part of many ordinary items, acorns in particular, on things such as coat hooks, dishes, ash trays
    The name and address written on the bottom is also a clue to age and could perhaps be cross-referenced with a US census
    The photo of the address is enhanced for contrast - "Harry W. Kristner, 160 W Green? St Reading PA"
    is my take on it
    Box of 28 - one has no dots on either side - not sure if that's by design, incomplete, or one is missing
