Patrick: Sorry I got on your nerves.
But I never suggested that you should change your Ivory dice to the Red variety.
I only stated that I had never seen anything but Red in the Mills "Dice". Now after thinking about it, I stand corrected.
I decided to go back and ransack through my restoration photo files. This is way before the computer age, so they are all
on 35mm & 4x5 print film. I discovered that two of the early round button machines that I had worked on, were indeed
different. One did have the original Ivory dice, and the other had the Red. Sadly, I was not collecting serial numbers for
all machines at that time, as it would have been interesting to see if the number range would have told me when Mills
had made this change. Wish yours had a serial, so that we could compare with Dave's machine. I also took a buzz through
Dick Bueschel's 'Serial Number Update' listings, and did not find any Mills "Dice" serials there either. Will keep digging.
