This 3-piece set (one of only two left) carries the
following codes and values in "Antique Gambling
Chips" - Revised Edition:
IE-VO Rose - $50-$69 - page-143
IO-CF "5" - $50-$60 - page-169
IP-IF "25" - $70-$89 - page-182
Note the small rim fracture in the southwest
quadrant which doesn't permeate the ring on either
side.
The dark spot encompassing the nerve at the 1-spot
(top of 5) is only on the side you're looking at.
On the reverse the nerve is well camouflaged within
the pigment of the scrimshaw....and there is a
complete rim of red except for a less than 1mm wide
section meeting the edge where it's rubbed-away. In
other words, you're NOT looking at the best face of
the chip.
The Rose is perfect.
The 3-piece set will be available at eBay Auctions
later this evening with a minimum bid of $140,
compete.
