Key Chain Cribbage Souvenir from Princess Marguerite Ferry
I think this is a trinket that the ferry gave out to passengers on the service from Victoria Canada to Vancouver Canada to Seattle Washington. Wish I had a date for it. Two cribbage score boards and four pegs inside the foldable leather case
1 1/4" W x 3 1/8" H
Found at yard sale in Lakewood, WA summer 2021
