Puttering around in the park and came across this.

Interesting.  Looks like a substitute for a standard six-sided die.  The lettering is quite primitive and it has nice patina.  I'm wondering if it is a one-of-a-kind artisan made piece for some kind of game set.  Do you know the metallic composition?  Magnetic?  What TID did it ring up at?

Nice find! Heard a story that con men would sell weighted sets of these to bartenders (one all ways landed on take) then a week or to later his partner would come it with his own set and clean house.
