It was a cold & stormy night back in '84. I had just received another brown, paper bag of chips from Vera Stoof. Vera was a girlfriend of Frank Walters, a distributor with the O'Neal Co., who had chips constructed with concentric grooves, much like a phonograph record. Frank sold other molds, the Weave among them. Jim Blanchard calls this mold, ROMAN. I think Dale Seymour coined it the WEAVE.

Among the chips in those brown bags from Vera Stoof, were always lots of "Floor Sweepings", chips used for practicing different hotstamps. Many chips would have 2-5 different hotstamps, superimposed on each other. I must have had about 10-15 with Hollywood Club stamped on one or both sides and usually something else stamped over the Hollywood Club. I never found out whether the Hollywood Club was a true club or a fantasy. I am pretty sure that it was never used at the Toledo club.
