Anybody have a 72 year old Nevada chip in as good a condition as the white Bank-Palace Club? USPC sure made a quality chip. The lavender Flaming was made by the Burt Company.
According to Jim Blanchard, the Burt company, when they took over making c&s, in lieu of a clear ,thick celluloid film, switched to a thinner, plastic film. The switch over was done for safety reasons (celluloid was extremely flamable) and expense savings (the celluloid was imported in sheets from Italy).
