Collecting Dominoes There are a wide range of different dominoes to collect, from differently marked types of domino sets, to dominoes manufactured from different and unusual materials. Here is some useful information and advice if you collect, or want to collect, dominoes. If you're going to collect dominoes then
you should know about the different types of
domino sets around, and their
manufacturing materials history If you're buying old and used
dominoes, it's a good idea to look at their condition. As with any Domino sets made from ivory are one of the rarest and most eagerly sought after of all types of domino. This is in great part due to the banning of the manufacture of ivory products in the 1980s under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) which was introduced due to the mass slaughter of Elephants that was threatening their extinction. However, vintage ivory dominoes and products manufactured before 1989 can still be legally bought and sold. Proving the date of manufacture is almost impossible, and as a result, buying and selling ivory dominoes may prove problematic and difficult without proper paperwork authenticating the date of production and the history of the particular dominoes in question. The mid-19th-century plastic Bois Durci domino sets, and even individual tiles, are extremely rare and so too are considered very desirable collectors items by domino enthusiasts. Bakelite dominoes, which were manufactured from the early-to-mid-1950s, are quite collectable and aren't priced prohibitively so high that the average collector couldn't afford them.
If you're not interested in antique or vintage
dominoes then maybe you'd like to collect different
types of domino sets for playing different
domino games to the usual standard Western Double-Six games. This
is a relatively inexpensive and If you want to buy dominoes online then try the links pages below which list a huge range of different domino retailers and manufacturers from all over the world, catering for all your domino needs.
