Holy Cow it sure would be a HUGE undertaking! I know, Dale wanted to just show examples of what was out there in the PZ Gambling Advertising section. Just this category alone would make a great project for someone to put together. Perhaps on The Chip Board in a simular manor by someone because it would be too much for one collector, but I know there are a couple of collectors that have great collections of samples as I know you do too.
The PZ Gambling Advertising section of Dale's book was also the only section that was allowed to go "AWAY" past the 1940 to 1946+- "cut off" date to be classified as true antique chips. Personally, I have to be content with the two Antique chip projects that I am currently working on with a group of great Antique Chip collectors that I am honored to be working with. I am fairly certain that these two projects will keep me busy for the rest of my life.
The facinating thing about your PZ-HA small HUNT Sample chip is, I do not know of any small FOR TRADE embossed chip that was ever put into production? Do you? There are not any coded that I know of so it sure was not a popular seller. Another thing notable is that the chip was not coded until Dale's first supplement, but the larger one was not coded either. There were many of the standard size chips produced but the small chips are so rare. It will be very appropriate to list your PZ-HA with the various reverse denominations as PZ-HA reverse variations as they are true Antique chips. Thanks Don for your help with our project and I will keep you posted with it's progress.
