Dick Steffler produced a CD that has a great many California card clubs documented. It is not available in book form or online. The WMP/DNK chip is from the Club V - the entry in Dick's guide is below:
W M P | DNK [CLUB V]
333 SAN PABLO AVENUE [W.M. PENCHART]
EL CERITOS, CA
1939 - 1951
The only Wonder Stag Club was in Visalia and as you can see in Dick's entry below it was open from 1950 until 1983. It was a legal Calif. card room.
W S [WONDER STAG CAFE]
115 EAST MAIN STREET
VISALIA, CA
1950 – 1983
You can look up other chips by clicking the Chip Guide link at the top of the page when you are viewing the complete list of messages and then going to the state you are interested in. Its not always easy to find things though unless you have a pretty good idea of what state it is from.
