You would think that the Vineyard was the most popular little card room ever. I'm still amazed at the price the original H&C versions of these chips command on Ebay, $3 to sometimes $40+ a chip for some of the denoms. They are a pretty chip and all but now there are 2 reproduction versions of these chips out there. The Chipco style reproduction like the ones in Stu's post (I think the NCV Chipco style versions look pretty nice) and today I see on Ebay a Blue Chip reproduction with the shell/flame mold as well (see auction link below).
Don't know how long the place was actually open or if the original H&C chips ever saw a table but I wish I had bought the rack, could have made a fortune.
