Just a thought; do they look similar to these?

Hi,

These three chips are from cuba; quite old.

I got them myself from Havana.

Their origin in Cuba remains unknown, but we know the first two are part of a set of seven chips used in an old game called, "Dedo y mano"
The lower one "supposed to have been used in a game called "Tresillo", but I have conflicting stories as to what game this chip was used in, when I asked older players in Cuba.

The lines inside the numbers were frequently used in the past in Cuba, mostly in bone & ivory chips.

Just a thought!
