I'm curious on the story of those chips. Anyone have any details? Kregg Herz's Guide to the Records of the United States Playing Card Co. lists those TK reverse die cut chips as being sent to Chicago in 1917. I've got them as Lincoln Hotel, Stockton with a question mark in my collection but don't know who "TK" was or how the chips got from Chicago to Stockton. Armin's California catalog does has TKC plain mold chips listed as being Lincoln Hotel Stockton. (scan below). By the way if anyone has the TK reverse die cut in red, I would be interested in buying or trading for it.
