Frankly, I have nothing to add to the discourse on dominoes (that goes for theory and design). I just like the boxes.
Read about the history of dominoes here. Read about domino producer, Halsam, here. The company was founded as a block manufacturer in 1917 by brothers-in-law Hal and Sam. Vintage domino sets are readily available on eBay.
Russian domino set for the blind.
