A nice clean caged divided core, halfway between 1 & 47/64ths a 1 & 3/4". One ground & Faceted pontil and the other end melted almost completely smooth w/ no visible pigtail. Going on the single faceted pontil on one end & the other melted I'm guessing an earlier make somewhere between 1850 & 1880 for production.

The pride of my collection of boards are both complete Jaques Magic Number Squares with glazed ceramic numbered marbles on beautiful turned mahogany boards. Both have lozenge shaped marks dating the game copyright to the 1850s although they could have been made in the 1860s too.

I am very lucky to have found these many years ago.
