Card Trimmer and Card Marking Device. Maker unknown, American, ca. 1890. Wood with brass fittings. The triangular brass corner piece with holes found here is quite unusual. Slip a card underneath and use a pin to punch the card in the spot you want. This will leave a bump in just the right location so that the dealer can feel it and deal the second card until he can deal the ace to himself or his partner. Excellent.
