This is cataloged in a book about Waterman's pens as being a good luck piece. When I talked with the pen collectors, they all confirmed it was a very rare piece with only one known. I think it had a book value of $200. I explained to the collectors that they were poker chips and that I had two colors; red (brown), white (beige) and what the colors represented. Could not convince them. In fact, they said everyone in the world who collects Waterman's knows they a good luck piece. The following month I found one black example and with that convinced them. I had 300+ pieces and sold them to Waterman's collectors for $100 each. A real bargain; a rare piece that any of them would have bought for $200. Some of the lesser quality pieces sold for less.

...and here's a keyring fob listed as a jeton... It is not a jeton.
