I wrote the gentlemen a polite post explaining the history of these U. S. Playing Card chips. I have had some previous dealings with him; doubt that it will do much good. But I'll keep checking on him. Incidentally, Archie, I have a set of 300 mint "rare" swastika chips with a 1911 presentation plate. I paid $75 for my "rare" set. <g> One of these days I am going to sell it [with proper pedigree of course and without referring to it as "rare"]. I can't use it in my regular home game since that wonderful old Indian symbol is now permanently seen by many as a Nazi sign.
