and all others with a knowledge of old, perhaps antique chips - could you please, please help me identify, and if possible value the following two items (scans to follow):

The first Number (1) - is a set of 81 cardboard, embossed, noiseless chips

The second Number (2) - is a BLAX wood/leather rack with several styles of chips made of ??? (feels like bone or ivory or something like that). The chips are deeply embossed with an old three mast sailing ship on some and a lobster, with the word lobster on the others; also there are flat chips of same the material (???) with a large crown and three feathers.

I will post the scans as Number (1) and Number (2) as described above.

I know you are all busy getting ready for the show, but, PLEASE any help from any one would be most appreciated!
