oops - guess CW doesn't accept Greek letters - that's what the words translate to
Maybe someone can read the text on the piece.
I used google translate with the Greek keyboard - PUBLIC VOTE
Maybe a voting chit?

Hmm. I don't know that this piece is that old though. Unless it was preserved, I got the piece from a professor Henry Jannsenn who taught at the university California San Diego. I was fortunate enough to be on the work crew that was hired to get the property ready to sell.
Thank you Tubeamp, aghcollect, and roycroftsbooksforme1. You guys are awesome.!
Of course it's not that old, you get them at the museum gift shop...
You're welcome,
