Hi Allan,
According to the old newspaper stories from the 1920s, the Railway Club at 593 Third Street in San Francisco had quite a history. After repeated raids by the police, the club in 1921 got first a temporary and later a permanent restraining order keeping the cops from raiding the place. By 1923 the raids had begun again, this time with the police using sledgehammers to gain entrance. Arrested a bunch of people for gambling. Hard to know if these are their chips for sure though. Any idea what time period chips were made with this mold?
