Speed Racer Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Recently found at a local Goodwill for a buck ninety-nine. All the (half-inch or less) agate peewee's are hand faceted. The board (6 3/4" dia) could be made of maple? It has a very slight warp to the wood, so if you lay it on a flat surface and tap the edge in just the right spot, it will rock ever so slightly. Now for all I know, this is a modern reproduction. The holes lined up for the game are not very symmetrically drilled as you can see in the pic. Also, the mibs are not perfectly faceted, as they tend to wobble a bit when rolled. Maybe for this game they didn't have to make them exactly round? All in all it looks pretty cool in hand. Enjoy and please let me know what you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marboman Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Very fine find!I would say how could you go wrong for $1.99 but I think you could have paid a bit more and still had a great investment.I can actually see the hand faceting in the pictures!Yea,good deal!
