Test foil fillers?
I acquired these from an ebay seller that was functioning as a middle man for a former WotC employee (at least, that was the story, seems to be a common occurrence), and they were described as test foils in the invoice.
Anyone have any information on such things? These seem too weird to be fillers, although I guess anything is possible. Could even be fake, who knows, but they look cool.
LEFT: Thick white nonfoil strip on left, foil cutline at top with foil square top left
RIGHT: All foil with cutline at top
LEFT: Thin white nonfoil strip on left, foil cutline on bottom with foil square (cut off) below cutline
RIGHT: Thick white nonfoil strip on right, with indented arrowhead in foil middle left
LEFT: Thin white nonfoil strip on left
RIGHT: Thick white nonfoil strip on right

I also got a couple of these ten years ago, in person, from someone I know to have been a Wizards employee. He wasn't able to tell me much if anything of their origin (he wasn't involved with the production side), but he said they were using them as proxies for in-house games, so there must have been a fair number produced at some point. At least they can be authenticated as not acetoned.

Any thoughts on what the purpose of the foil square would be?
