8 CASH ROULETTED CARDS

Travancore 1892 'rouletted'  EIGHT CASH cards, were in the usage for a period of 8 months (from the specimens seen, so far).....very scarce.

Shown here is arc rouletted....7 holes/teeth in 2 centimetres.

Normally seen 8 cash cards are perforated with 10/12 holes/teeth in every 2 cms.

Rouletted cards, within a short span of time (from April to November, 1892), 
gave way to perforated (10/12) cards. Hence, hard to find.
