<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for this, I know of <FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>Willughby's Book but must get a copy now. I still
wonder though if it has an earlier date than the mid 17th C. I can't imagine a
gambling die being named after a Catholic saint in puritan England ! Perhaps it
has it's origins in Mainland Europe?</FONT></FONT></DIV>
