An elegant card game accessory, this antique score marker is made of blackened wood, likely hand-turned, with two swiveling brass points secured by a riveted central mechanism. The gilded, recessed numerals allow for counting units (1 to 9) and tens (10 to 90), according to each player's score. This rustic and understated model features the initials "BF" and "DF" stamped in the center. Used for games such as belote or piquet, it combines functionality and authenticity. Its handcrafted nature suggests French production towards the end of the 19th or the very beginning of the 20th century.
