Go into E-bay under antique dice.

Go into E-bay under antique dice.

That's what I did for a couple sets that I put on the fork bag on my Harley. They age beautifully. They look almost like the ones in last pic.

They are expensive on Ebay, antique shows, stores etc. Cheapest yellowed dice I found so far 15- just picked them up yesterday in an antique mall. Been on the lookout for about a year now.

Yeah, just like anything if you're looking. Just set up an auto search on Ebay, that's about all the time I can spend looking for dice. But while I'm hunting down military items and run across vintage dice, you almost have to ask as if hardly interested. Otherwise, you get the Oh he's interested inflated price.

Thanks for the advice!!!!!!
Well, kept a lookout, still expensive on Ebay and elsewhere. Had to pay 10 bucks for this set at a yard sale but for another 110- (a total of 120-) I asked if she had any military items.

A 1945 dated extra ammo pouch, early USMC canteen cover without drain holes, M1924 Yugoslavian bayonet, late 1800's Austrian Bayonet, WW1 French bayonet, 1894 Krag bayonet, 3 different grenade fuses and spoons from VN war, 7 cell Sten gun mag pouch with mags, M-14 mag pouch, WW2 German E-tool, 318th FS Patch from VN war, un ID'd DI, M-16 Bipod and complete cleaning Rod in the pouch VN dated 1970, and a few other odds and ends. May be going back for an Enfield Jungle Carbine.

1/2 inch across one side.

Thanks. How are the dice modifed and attached? Are there holes drilled? Any pics of the opposite side of the dice?

Used a Dremel with a bit, and slowly drilled the whole on one side thru the other matching the black number dots.

Thanks. I think I can do that.

Just did a pair, Drilled straight in through the 4 and 6 as seen in the photo to meet at the 45 angle point, I chose the 4 and 6 to keep all dots intact. Good opportunity to test the zoom on my new camera. Also, another cool zipper pull option, early Chinese cash coin. BTW, displayed on my new Parsons jacket, very nice for the money.......http://www.ebay.com/itm/170733561630?ss ... 1439.l2649

Very old dice. Notice the dots do not line up, and the hole depth is different, also the edges are done by hand. I would say mostly hand made. There is some crazing.

I have a WWII navy flight helmet with original dice attached to the earcup. The dice are fantastic. I will put pictures. THe helmet also came with a rabbit's foot (or what's left of it) sewn on top of the helmet. THe pilot really believed in lucky charms I guess
