Before getting into this, I'd like to suggest that it would be helpful if posters took the effort to make a well described subject heading. Instead of saying "Help, ID this please," it would be good to also describe the chip in question. I had passed this by for that reason.

Anyway, all of the chips pictured here are identified as from the Brook Club by Richard Carbin in his recently published soft cover book, "Chipin Away ... at the Gambling Scene of Saratoga." He has pictures there of all of them. You can reach him at Taconic@hotmail.com (if that doesn't work, I have other email address for him). He lived in Saratoga at the time these clubs and still resides there. At a flea market years ago, I found these chips in the box pictured here . The dealer I got them from is from

the Saratoga area. He says they came to him in a box of chips (Piping Rock, Brook

Club and other Saratoga chips) belonging to the estate of an ex-police officer. He

says the chips were identified by former workers of the club. Note the old stamps on the box and the address (Ballston Spa is just outside of Saratoga).
