I would call them  Cigarette Advertising Dice used in 1920s ABT Gambling Machines, That site gave pretty much all the info on what they are how they were used. Did a quick search and found these http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/cigarette-advertising-dice-1920s-abt-gambling. If you feel you need to see more sets or need more info I would try a forum that specialize in tobacco memorabilia.  :)
