What exactly is the deal with Va City ....

... chips? TCR lists 23 of them; Campi-Wells lists 24. One of the chips in TCR is NOT in CW; two of the chips in CW are NOT in TCR. Thus, between them, they list 25 different chips.

Neither book lists the apparent color/composition variation shown in the scan which Ron Lischak posted showing his Va City chips.

Here's a complete list of the chips with book listings in ( ):

1 --- Bonanza Club ---------- 25 cents (both books)
2 --------------------------- $1 (both)
3 --------------------------- $5 (both)
4 Bucket of Blood ----------- $1 (both)
5 --------------------------- $5 (both)
6 Capital Bar (or Saloon) --- $5 (both)
7 --------------------------- $25 (both)
8 Crystal Saloon ------------ $10 (both)
9 Delta Club ---------------- Non-denom yellow (CW only)
10 -------------------------- 50 cents yellow smkey (both)
11 -------------------------- 50 cents yellow horshu (both)
12 -------------------------- 50 cents lavender (both)
13 -------------------------- $1 (both)
14 -------------------------- $5 (both)
15 Pat Hart's Brass Rail ---- $1 Grey smkey (both)
16 -------------------------- $1 Grey smkey branded "Heart over H" (TCR only)
17 -------------------------- $5 (both)
18 Red Garter Saloon -------- Non-denom Maroon arodie w/ "RGS " (both)
19 -------------------------- $1 (both)
20 -------------------------- $5 (both)
21 -------------------------- $25 (both)
22 Silver Queen ------------- $1 (both)
23 -------------------------- $5 (both)
24 -------------------------- $25 (both)
25 Washoe Club -------------- Non-denom Mustard hub w/ "WC" (CW only)
w/ the note that this chip was made for another club, then brought to Va City.

And, maybe:

26 Red Garter Saloon -------- $1 variation shown in Ron Lischak's post

Any thoughts from anyone (particularly the authors of either book or Gene) about the chips which appear only in one book and not the other?

Or about whether there are actually two different Red Garter $1 chips?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide. ----- jim o\-S
