Description: | Cast cu-alloy unidentified object, possibly a six-sided brass gaming counter and dating from the 18th or 19th century. It is solid-cast with a perforation in the centre, possibly to receive the central pin/handle around which the spinner was spun. It has the size of a six-sided spinner or (Jewish) dreidel, but most of the Jewish dreidels are four-sided and only very few six-sided. Unfortunately, the surfaces are to worn to make out any numbering or lettering.An example of a six-sided dreidel/dreidl can be found here: http://www.gamesmuseum.uwaterloo.ca/VirtualExhibits/Tablegames/Dreidel/index.html
