Fran,
I would just like you to know that I attempted
looking high and low for anything matching the
monogram of your 25PTS chip. I searched early
catalog pages of G. CARO, Paris, who engraved many
of the World's Mother-of-Pearl pieces used
throughout Europe, Panama and some South American
countries...but found nothing. If the interlaced
letteres happen to be "CS" I find nothing linking it
to a casino in Spain. I know very little about how
old Casino Municipal Salinas is, or when it opened
originally...and I'm not too sure as to when (or if)
Gran Casino San Sebastian had pearls prior to
Kursaal inaugurated. Sorry I was of no help, but I
would like to know should you locate any information
attributing the piece.
