I remember playing tiddley winks, but don't think we've found any of the
little plastic discs in excavation. Just recently got a single plastic
poker chip and domino from a 1930s trash deposit (along with a 'plastic'
wallet calendar from 1930, for Edison/Mazda Lamps), and have encountered
plenty of marbles...and the Pleistocene golf balls. :o)
Oh, and a broken bone domino from the old part of San Diego...
