Lovely Antique Etched Mother of Pearl Gaming Chips - Set of Four red yellow green The crank on the side

The crank on the side turns and the threaded press arm can be loosened or tightened

Still looks bright and sharp

my guess is that this carved lino print block was made by Eileen Ryan Ewan

and definitely about 200 years old
