Antique Ten-Pin Skittles Set

Late 19th century, consisting of ten turned wooden pins (nine 10-1/2 in. and one 8-1/4 in.) with lithographed faces and uniform coats; plus three wooden balls with which to knock the pins down. The set comes in their original wooden box bearing the remnants of the label to one side.

The pins and box are generally quite worn with surface losses; the box lacking its lid.
