I contact you because I have a very old and unique game too which my ancestor gave it to my grandfather and he pass it to my father and now I had inherit it from my father.
I would like to mention the fact that my ancestor had purchased this game from a huckster in Syria.
This is an old and entertaining game which I could say confidently you have never seen such a thing before. I know all the rules of game and there is only one original copy of this game which I have it. in and I am indented to sell it at good price.
The games marble are made from brass. They are8 & hand made. It has 6stones. And the play ground is being made by hand also. As a matter of fact I don’t have any idea regarding the age history & price of this game. Because I am not a l’Antiquaire and the Connoisseur. I have some pictures from this game that will help you to verify the game much better.
I am looking forwards for your comments and suggestions.
Thanks and regards,
