I really dont know what this is aside from the mirror on the obverse and possibly a paper weight. Merlaco is a Philippine electric company but when I originally saw it, I assumed it was a Cuban Piece. Its large and heavy. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

Bob,
Just a little help here it is listed in Paul's Book under Z98 and he says Z98 is attributed to a company sponsored baseball team in Mexico.....

I'm a Giants collector who doesn't mind ruining the value of something to make it a "Giants piece." Here's an example of the Blatz Braves display, after "customization."
