Ivory Chips Find, March 2015

� The first two chips listed below look like they came from the same set.  The first three chips listed below are new-found designs, destined to be coded.

� For the Five-Ovals chip and the Double-O chip,  I can show you a scan of a lower quality one for less money.

� Upon request, I am happy to show you the front and back of the very chips I have for sale to you.

� I got these together from a lady in Edgewater, Florida.  She said, "My husband and I own a vintage jewelry shop. Recently we purchased a storage tub of vintage jewelry sight unseen, and found ivory poker chips lying in the bottom... ."
