Re: How was this used in the game...?

A counter than can reflect any number from 1 to 5000, depending on what's flipped up. Number shown is 804 = 500+300+4.

Maybe counts the commissions due on a shoe of baccarat / chemin-de-fer?? But just guessing.

Where is it from? That may explain monetary unit. Old Francs?

Beautiful piece, whatever it is.

We have the Kenya type Opossum in FL.
Supposedly Opossums came from Virginia.
I contacted the Whist Markers Museum ~~~

Nice. Still trying to find this manufacturer logo.
