I see pool cues

They are tapered like pool cues. FWIW, I have a 20th Anniversary jacket that was produced for the Billiard Congress of America (BCA) in 1996 that uses a pair of crossed pool cues as part of the design.

Hey, great pictures. Make them better by 1) cropping - either square or circular and 2) white balance for true color.

 

The obverse has a ball in the right corner and a triangular thing , that's pretty close to the true color also. I don't think the image was struck it was more pressed front and back at the same time

 

It's not scratch in.

Yes I've been looking on Google and stuff but it doesn't really give you a lot of stuff from the twenties, maybe from a speakeasy , one of these might get you a shot of White Lightning.

 

So in 1920s the major entertainment was baseball, pool and drinking. And you don't recognize pool cues and you don't know that little clipped planchet was where they may have put it in a vice to hold it.

 

Perhaps as someone else may have a little more optimistic viewpoint than yours.

 

And if you look closely the pool sticks are not exact front to back it may have been stamped or pressed both sides at once, two different dies pressed at the same time.

 

There wasn't room for his golf bag and caddy.

Golf with big back then too but I see pool cues

 

Golf with stupid knee-high pants

 

I see 2 drum sticks! But if Chris thinks they are pool sticks, I'd go with it.

 

Okay that's better than seeing random scratches.

 

The way they're tapered at the ends looks like chisel marks.
