An antique gaming counter from the late Victorian to Edwardian period, c.1880–1910. Turned bone, with the natural grain faint beneath the surface, and a warm, even age to the colour. The centre holds a pierced white-metal filigree medallion: “5” to one side, a scrolling foliate design to the reverse. A quiet relic from the old card table, when score was kept by the fingertip, not a digital screen. Details: • Diameter: 35 mm • Weight: 4.4 g • Material: Bone with white-metal inlay (likely nickel silver) • Period: c.1880–1910 • Condition: Gentle age patina and light handling marks; no cracks. A small, good thing — made to sit in the hand, passed across the felt with unspoken understanding.
