Brian C.Who Made These?
I picked up these two wooden counters and was wondering who made them, and what were they used for? They go from 1-100, and the only markings I find are E.G and Bte. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brian C.

Jerry KingWhat does the back side look like Brian....What do you mean when you say they are "Wooden Counters"...?
Because of the two arms I would say you could probably go as high as 999...
On first looksee, I have no clue as to what they are....

Mike LaForestBrian, it is a point counter device for the French card game of piquet. See the following URL:
