When I bought a copy of "Howdy's Guide to Hunt & Co. Monogrammed Gaming Checks & Chips" in '01, the first thing I did was go through it and mark all the chips attributed to San Francisco. There's a bunch of them. Since then I've been looking for any chain mold chip that has roots in S.F.
A few weeks ago I found one on . Actually I scored four of these so I'm offering one . Nice chip, but it shows its age. Yellow chip with the "Hunt's Chain" or "Victory Chain" mold. Hot-stamped CSPon both sides. (No idea what these initials are for.) This chip is attributed to Guido Michelutti of 346 Broadway, San Francisco, California. Curiously, the Herz guide only lists this chip in the color dark green.
I'll trade this chip for any other chip that can be attributed to San Francisco. Even if the attribution is only an APO address.
Anybody want to trade? Come on! How many chips do you have that were once owned by a guy named Guido?
