Thank you for all emails regarding trying to find information on these dice. Here is the answer.
These dice are from the Old Palace Club in Reno.
Information was obtained from 2 sources.
The first was obtained from "The Dice Mans" Catalog,c.1999; Reno/Lake Tahoe Edition and the second source is from a well known Dice Collector who wishes to remain Private.
The Dice Man's Book lists the dice #R0374 From the Palace Club c. Early 1940's. John "Slot Machine Johnny" Petricianni owned this club. At the time of the books printing (1999), Stated that this pair of dice is a rarety 4, meaning that only 10 to 20 pairs were known to exist. ***As a curious test to Dice Collectors who visit this page.
***Could any one who has a pair of this dice please notify me. I would like to find out how many do exist.
Thanks Rob
Further,
The dice are in very good condition with some
minor crystalization, considering the age.
Dice are 5/8 and over 60 years old. At the time that these dice were used, only 1 crap table was used in the Casino. A lot of famous or infamous hands rolled these. If only these dice could speak.
