MY BEST IVORY CHIP -- THE
STAR/PLANT ONE
(INRB-Five; IELF-Three Leaves and Star; and IPAD-Twenty-Five -- all
three listed in the 2002 "Supplement of Chip Codes" to Antique Gambling
Chips.)
SOLD OUT OF THE "5" CHIP
There are three different chips: a "5", a "25" and
a great new design chip with a star, circle, etc. on one side and a three-leaf
plant, circle, etc ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!!
They are all from the same set; they all came to
me together, in some quantity. I am the only one who has these to
sell. Note the four two-twigs rim pattern on each, for
example, and the four leaves on the rim of each.
The "5" is 2/3/2/2 (see p. 165 of new book). There is only
one 2/3/2/2 in the book; this is a second.......There
is also only one
2/3/2/2 "25" in the book (p. 179); mine is a
second one.............NO
BIG DEAL THOUGH. EVERYTIME SOMEONE FINDS
NEW IVORIES, IT SEEMS TO BE A
NEW CODE..
The star/3-leaf one is sensational though.
Other than monograms, I
don't know of ivories with different sides.
And this is part of a
sizable set, so it is not an error or an experimental
chip.
Here, below, are more recent pictures of the ivories, showing the reduced
condition. Note that only one "5" is left, and it has a small nerve
hole in the center.
The star leaf chip you will be getting will NOT have that nerve hole. The
"25" shown is representative.
My price for these chips:
$175 for the star/3-leaf one, OK-used-fine
condition ... I have in OK, but lesser condition for less money;
happy to email you sans.
SOLD OUT OF THE "5"
CHIP -- $45 for my last "5," OK-used-good condition, except
than there is a small pin-size nerve hole in the center of the chip.
$65 for a "25" -- maybe a slight edge crack on
the "25"; or there might be no edge crack but some paint missing from
the engravings, or both "problems." Otherwise in decent condition. Cite
your preference, or leave it to me to give you the most attractive chip.
postage additional.
you can return anything.
best wishes,
