THE NAZI CHIPS

The dealer who listed the chips as Nazi made the following correction: Interestingly there is a set of 450 Swastika chips correctly described now on eBay. I show a picture of the correctly described chips below.

Several people have e-mailed to say that they believe this set was made in the early 1900's by the US Playing

Card Company and that they depict the "Paranoid" design. They also state that the symbol on each chip is a

symbol of good luck and not the Nazi Swastika. Through our research, we have determined that the good luck

symbol or Indian symbol goes in the opposite direction from the Nazi Swastika. The chips we are selling match

the Nazi Swastika, not the good luck symbol. We do not have a reference book on vintage/old games and

therefore cannot confirm either way what these chips are. We purchased them as Nazi poker chips. Please place

your bids accordingly. Sorry for any confusion, but we want all interested parties to be informed as much as we

can.
