65. Die Box. New Haven, Petrie & Lewis, ca. 1930. Miniature die box made of heavy paper board covered with a floral pattern. Includes 1 ¾” paper-covered wooden die, shell, and box. Hinges, bottom, and extremities worn; good. Rare. Though P&L was famous for its bench-made metal products, including Phantom Tubes and Change Bags, and it manufactured a wooden die box in limited numbers (see next lot), it seldom if ever produced items crafted from heavy board, like this one.
