Looks like a Chinese Baoding ball one of a set ? You don't mention what size it is .
Stay safe and Healthy !
Manikin, Hey there. It's Tiny 12mm, i just have the one. You stay Healthy too my Friend !!
That would be correct size for one Mike :-)
It could also be a "pachinko" ball t00, Mike...?

AnythingObscure, I Think you nail It. Looks just like The One i have. Thanks All !!!
You guys beat me to it. I need to post my vintage Pachinko machine.
It is Japanese script.
There's some variety of tradition of Japanese pachinko parlors (or their players) engraving balls like this, I think -- but don't ask me to quote chapter/verse of such. I'd LOVE to see your machine Dave -- I have a couple of pachislo machines of my own, but not a pachinko yet... ;-) :-)
