David Spragg is completely wrong on his remark earlier today that these chips are worthless and not from Val Sneed. There has been a lot of research done on this issue and for David Spragg to say that no arrowdie predates 1953 is incorrect. Per Burt Company records, the $5 Pioneer arrowdie predates 1951 1/2 because it is not shown in the records and is most likely late 1940's. If you have proof that this is not correct than please fill me and the rest of the hobby in? So you are also saying James' book is wrong? Please read page 168 and tell me where the information is incorrect?
