it, the hole was drilled and then plugged with "ivory." Plug not there
now. ¶ condition -- plug hole, as noted above. Red paint worn away from rim. other wise nice, fine. ¶ large -- 1-9/16". |

A great find of mine. I "discovered" this chip, as I did most of those
in my list; I believe I am the only sales source of this. ¶ 1.5". ¶ condition -- the reverse side is somewhat more worn than the side you see. I have only two left in decent condition like this one. I rate it OK condition. ¶ valued "O" ($110-$150) in Antique Gambling Chips. |

¶ IO-LU (supplement, p. 20) -- "5". ¶ These are a very nice size -- 41.0 mm (slightly under 1-5/8"). ¶ condition -- Very good red centers. Some paint missing from the engravings, but a dynamite design. The eight "leaves" around the rim look like fish (horizontal view) or kewpie dolls (vertical view). ........The design was found after the Revised Edition was published; the chip picture and codes appear in the Supplement....... ¶ Valued "m" ($70 - $90) in AGC supplement, p. 20., too low I think for this handsome, large chip. |
$80. |
|
¶ IZ-TJ-var (p. 27 of the supplement) -- This is a
real ivory scrimshawed chip, but is suspected as being a relatively recent
creation, possibly an old concentric chip was scrimshawed with the "5".
This and other denominations were part of a large ivory set. ¶ size -- 1.5". ¶ condition -- fine-OK. |
