... NorCal acquisitions:

The Sonoma Joe's $100 tournament chip (which leaves only one chip missing from my set of SJ's 39 chips -- the numbered Bat Masterson; anyone have one?). Got this one from Mel Jung, who had to trade a $100 SJ's rack chip to get this at the card room formerly (and once again) known as Sonoma Joe's. Both sides shown.

Two chips from my new specialty objective -- a complete set of Virginia City chips (a more ambitious project, particularly since the Chip Rack and the Campiglia-Wells books don't even agree on exactly how many Va City chips there were):

----- The Capital Saloon $5 die cut metal inlay ("JJJ") (both sides shown) -- one of the two most difficult Va City chips (2nd only to the Capital $25); got this one from Mel, also.
----- The Delta Saloon $5 (same on both sides) -- from John Chamberlain.

A "Sandy's Club" chip, for sentimental reasons. This is apparently the only known chip from this rather obscure cardroom in Broderick, CA. Got this chip from Jim Rauzy.

Thanks to each of you who provided these chips. ----- jim o\-S
