A Fabulous Napoleonic Period Prisoner Made Carved and Scrimshawed Bone Games Box circa 1800

I have never seen a better example than this one. Two complete sets of dominoes, one black, the other red plus three dice. The inner bone lids beautifully scrimed, one with a large three deck man-of-war with traces of blue and red color, the other with a sailor holding hands with his girlfriend (wife?). Length: 7 1/2"
