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.)
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.
My price for these chips:
$125 for the star/3-leaf one, OK-used-fine
condition, .
$45 for a "5," OK-used-good condition, though there
will be a slight edge crack (short, thin dark line).
$70 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.
Cite your preference, or leave it to me to give you the most attractive
chip.
*** $230 for a set of three.***
$3 for postage
you can return anything.
best wishes,
