[BlindTlk] dominos

[Pamela Dominguez]

The ones in school were plastic with dots, and a high divider in the middle. 
They were regular-sized.  But the first dominoes I ever saw made for the 
blind in about 1958 came in a giant sack, and they were huge things made of 
wood with huge wooden holes.  My mother got them for a friend of mine.  I 
think they came from the Lions Club, like my plastic checker board.  My 
mother said they could be used as building blocks!  That's the only time I 
ever saw dominoes that big.  I did, also, see the wooden locking dominoes 
with the metal dots on them.  They were in the playroom of the Institute. 
The plastic ones I mentioned were in a classroom.  Pam.

Howe press had wooden dominos with metal raised dots in them and those
could interlock.  Two sets were available one that went to 6 dots and
the other that went to 12 dots.
