Mr Pacific Northwest concurs with the findings. The B-diamond-mold examples I have are mostly older (15-20 years old). I put the distributor in the Seattle are during that time period, but I don't know if they are still selling chips these days. All B-diamond chips I know of are Northwest clubs, but you have to count Alaska as part of the Northwest <g>. I have many examples in my collection. It wasn't hugely popular, but there were a sufficient number of clubs and card rooms that used this mold. Perhaps it came from the same distributor as the A---- mold (another Northwest mainstay). Jim, yes, the Redmond Cafe dealt cards for many many years and used mostly B-mold chips, but they closed for good about 2 years ago with pressure from the "real" casinos. steve g
