Thanks guys.

I didn't think it was a real DDO. But, it was different.

It's going into the wheat heap. Someone else can sort it out later.

I Emailed Mike Diamond lest year President of CONECA http://conecaonline.org/ and--

As others have indicated, it's a case of die deterioration doubling. A "poorman's doubled die".

I found one that is almost identical to yours about a month ago. I set it aside knowing it was the poor mans version. Still, you don't see alot of them.
