English antique sterling silver marker, most probably for a card game.
Hallmarked from London in 1899, the makers mark is polished away.
All scoring flaps are working with no breakages, possibly these have been dyed as there are different colours.
Scores can be done using this between 1 and 5000.
A few dinks on silver and securing pins a little looser than they should be, base covering is in poor order and would benefit from maybe a green felt replacement or similar.
Measures 93×49 across the silver, a little more with the flaps on the width measurement.
