I have been told they are some kind of gambling chip, either bone, ivory or mother of pearl, they have been given to me from a house clearance and I really have no idea what they are, is there anyone out there with any ideas, box full of different shapes and sizes, 3 rectangle shapes and 2 circles, thank you
