Die Box. New Haven Connecticut, Petrie and Lewis, ca. 1939. Wooden box from which a die vanishes, only to reappear elsewhere. With shell, double door, and solid die. 7 ½ x 4 x 4”. Shell and box scuffed. Good. P&L’s reputation was built on its fine bench-made metal props. Wooden props manufactured by the firm, like this Die Box, were infrequently made and are seldom encountered today.
