Naïvety or deception?

I have had a bit of a run in with that seller who operates under several names, perhaps family members. Originally he emailed me for info then argued he knew better but he has misread an earlier auction description. He then became quite rude. 

I placed this M.A.M.Co. information on my website which show these were produced in the period 1925-28 along with the information about the misreading of the auction listing.

He has a batch of these that his father brought back from Colombo many years ago and stored in the attic. These also would have been used overseas  in slot machines and no doubt were used by troops in WW2 etc.
