It's probably modern and unique, someone made it intending it to look old, I
would guess, but frankly I've never seen any before and if I'm correct, nor has
anyone else, so nobody will ever be able to say what it is and will be unsure
that it is what I think, which means there is little point in saying so.

Must admit I didn't say anything in the first place because there have been at
least two people posting images / links to curiosities and I wondered if maybe
this was a new trolling technique by the alt.troll brigade, posting in order to
spark up controversy and endless debate for the purposes of their little games.
As you're still asking, this isn't the case with your post :)
