Thanks much, Torrey. I had hundreds of cut corner BG plaques and shaved jetons from way back before BG had any advertising samples where most were gifts from casino owners. In their (BG) collection which I have posted here before, I show actual casino plaques with both cut corners and twice drilled which were sent to customers (and me) as samples. Placing the sample cut/drilled pieces side-by-side with what was on the tables (I show pics); they are the same. Recently, I posted both the cut and uncut pics of what was sold on eBay. Both cut corner catalog/magazine photos and the actual pieces, uncut. Considering what some collectors are willing to pay for this piece, I think they are as convinced as I am in thinking what it is.. I think..đ
I'll know shortly, for sure. Meanwhile, I'll post some actual older, in play, cut corner plaques.. đ
