Does anyone know what this is called? It's bakelite and we believe it's some kind of game piece. These are not the pictures I'll be using in my listing. Thank you for any help.

It could be a cube used for backgammon - usually the dice only doubles up to like 64, but it could be played with a dice like this.

Maybe search under backgammon and see if that helps.
Good luck

Thank you LisaMarie..

Definitely a doubling die, but like LM says, that's too high for backgammon.

Thank you BF. It is quite large. Still haven't found anything like it on the internet.

Actually, I did find a couple just like that for use in a sort of altered backgammon. I'll go now to look for the link again. I know I just searched "cube backgammon" on Google, but searched under "Images" instead of Net.

Check this link out - it shows one very similar to yours. It's at the bottom of the page
