Roll The Bones Promotional Dice Jars

During 1991 for the new release of Roll The Bones, this specially-made promotional item was produced in seemingly limited quantities. I'm not entirely certain how many were produced, nor exactly how they were distributed, but you pretty much never see them online or find someone who has one. For years I've only been able to find just one poor photo on the internet, and it wasn't until 2024 where I actually saw one pop up for sale on eBay. Within hours after that auction ended, another jar was listed by another seller with a set price, seemingly having waited to see how much the other would sell for. Based on these two sales, they would seem to go for approximately $570-625.

From the few I've seen, each jar seems to have a different mix of items, such as different dice designs and quantities, different skull designs, and/or different skeleton figures (such as a skull ring or full skeleton keychain). I imagine when the jars were originally filled, it was someone throwing pieces in at random.

Displayed below will be every RTB dice jar I've seen. If you own one and would like to share a photo, I'd be very curious to compare the contents.

Unfortunately there are no further photos of this last variant - this was the only image of one of these dice jars that had been on the internet before 2024. While it may be hard to see, I believe it contains a yellow/green full skeleton keychain with body, arms. and legs that dangle around. Years ago I once had a cheap orange Halloween keychain that was essentially the same thing.
