GREATEST CHIP CAROUSEL -- 500
CHIP CAPACITY
This carousel has so many great
aspects it is hard to know where to begin. Excellent condition (only
the light throws off the chip colors, particularly of the whites).
Here goes:
-
Note that there is a separate inner circle of 6 columns/stacks
of chips, and 14 outer columns/stack of chips. To remove chips from
the inner circle, you first must remove a stack of chips from the outer
circle and then reach through to the inner stacks!
-
There is a professionally carved/original "W.I.E."
in the wood (you can see it in the first picture at the 11:00 position),
and all 500 chips (100 red, white, blue, yellow and black) have a stylized
"W.I.E". inlaid monogram!
-
There are 14 hand carved, painted Chinese junks (sailing
vessels).
-
Metal dragon design handle.
-
Dragon designs carved in the wood base (seen in third
picture; excuse the dust).
-
I just noticed that carved into the center of the
top are some leaves and two Chinese mah jong (?) chips (?) (round with
square hole in center of each; I guess those "chips" were used by the Chinese
for gambling).
-
I assume the rack was made in the U.S. The
chips certainly must have been made in the U.S. as they look like typical
U.S. Playing Card Co. work.
