1952 Kimarite Bromide Set

    Description:  A very interesting set from the early 1950s.  This set features 2 rikishi (they appear to be Makushita level rikishi) demonstrating different kimarite.  This is a true menko set as many of the menko have winner stamps on the back.  However, the menko are printed on extremely thin paper so they wouldn't have withstood the battles for very long.  Manufacturer is unknown as well as the names of the rikishi.  A hard set to find.
