Purchased this oddity on ebay, any ideas ?

Engineering sample , apprentice piece or paperweight it does have green baize on the underside.

Size 3"x3" x 1 1/2". Weighs over 1.6 kg

The slots are just thick enough for an upside down credit card, its too thick with the numbers impressed and a penny won't fit either.

I guess the top was done with a milling machine but the slots ?

Slots were probably done with a slotting saw in either a horizontal mill or a vertical mill with the piece mounted horizontally.

No idea what it actually is though, Business card holder maybe? :?
