Hi, this is a game top. Maybe related to Put and Take. There are 8 sides to the small (about 1.2 inches) brass top.
The picture is at: http://www.antiquegamblingchips.com/puttake/ptArabicMany020613.jpg
Thank you. If I get an answer, I'll mail you an English brass Put and Take top. (This one is rare; is not mine.) (I am pretty sure now that it is in Persian, not Arabic.)
Robert

Hi, I made the original post. Maybe this will help. If it is a Put & Take, as I strongly suspect, the six sides in English might be something like this: Put 1, win 1, lose I , take one, give two, grab two, one in, two out, all pay, all in, grab all, lose spin, pool, take pool..
This is my Put & Take collection page: http://www.antiquegamblingchips.com/putandtake.htm
Thanks
