This was another toughy to ID. I have 2 colors. I got them in June 2002.
There was no Mason record card (or at best misfiled) on the 310 Club chip. Howdy had given up searching for it, when he thought to look in the Mason "Die Tag files." This file, the way I understand it, is seperate from the records and for "Special Dies." Not all dies are in it.


310 Club
Poole Brothers-Owensboro, KY
1945
I have never done a search for info on the Poole Brothers. But it is on my "things" to do list along with over 3,000 other illegal chips.

The old distributors records are the most valuable pieces of history in our hobby. Not only to illegal chip collectors as they have info on NV chips also.
This site with over 15,000 records on it belongs to you. If you have not seen it, take a look.

Thanks to several friends of our hobby, recent research has given us leads on two more sets of records. Keep your fingers crossed.
