Established in 1870 in Albany, New York by famous plastics investor John Wesley Hyatt and his brothers Charles and Isaiah, it continued well into the late 1900s and may still be in business. John Wesley Hyatt is famous for inventing the celluloid billiard ball which replaced the ivory ball common in the 1800s. His materials were used in early versions of The Embossing Company's dominos and checkers pieces. In the late 1900s, the company imported toys lines such as Meccanno from Europe. "Toys That Teach" was their motto. Checkers, dominos, architectural and ABC blocks made up the majority to the company's toy and game production. A double sided page of their advertising is included that is starting to split at folds yet very readable. This set of Double Twelve Express Dominoes was made by the Embossing Company, an Albany, N.Y., firm that produced wooden blocks and puzzles. A sheet of instructions, “HOW TO PLAY DOMINOES,” was originally included in the box, and is included in this box. Also the box originally contained ninety-six rectangular tiles. Five of which were completely blank. This box has 91 tiles...only one is blank.
