Assuming they are original HPG's from the early 1900's I would guess the logo is that of a former casino/gambling house?

(Similar to this style of logo

If so narrowing it down beyond that is a shot in the dark.

LOL .. thanks ... Unfortunately the dice are not that old ... My guess is they are from the 1960-70's ... based on the aging of the plastic and paint ... as well as the boxes in which they were contained (not a real indicator but they do match)

In addition .. I have never seen casino's sell / have poker dice (just because I have not seen them does not mean that they do not exist)

Nice. I can see the Texas Chainsaw killer showing up for game-night with these leather beauties! Just don't ask him what type of leather they are made from.

The funny thing about those dice are ... I saw the ebay auction for the actual dice used in the movie (allegedly) ...

I bid even though I could not count them in the collection because of the snake ... I was overbid

Kevin, you should see if you can dig something like this up:

Horus was always rolling 20s.

How awesome would it be if an ancient papyrus scroll with an etched character sheet on it, turned up next!

I just had to do an interim update to show these dice

At first I thought they were just some cheap polys that someone marked with sharpie and put into an old dice box ... Turns out ... they are cheap polys (Hong Kong) but are much older than I thought ... 1963

These may be the oldest polyhedral game dice set ... we have seen d4's ... d6's ... d12's ... and even d20's from ancient times ... but never as a set
