Description

This is the last set Tom made and we only have one in stock.

Tom learned at a young age how to make shell game from a real con man, and to this day each shell is hand carved by Tom Bartlett from a genuine American black walnut.

Black walnuts are smaller around than English, they are jut as tall as they are wide, they have a natural texture that makes them the easiest to grip of any shells and require less forward and backwards movement to load and unload, of any shells on the market any where.

English walnuts not being common in the south, the black walnuts may be more like the shells actually used in the south around the Civil War period and ideal for period reenactment.

Each set takes almost four hours of labor to create (a pint of blood in the making of every set).
