dar76124 Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 10/31/2025 2:13 pm I think Spiel Marke since it's about the same size and weight (22mm, 3.6g) as other counters I have seen. Report this Post to the Staff

dar76124 Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 05/10/2026 09:17 am I was cleaning my desk and ran across this again and since there was a question about it being vintage or a modern Chinese copy I did another search and discovered this is actually listed in the Rulau-Fuld American Game Counters book as ARG-2 R7. Link to the book which is very useful. https://archive.org/details/tamsjou.../n1/mode/2up Report this Post to the Staff
