I'll be on a business trip in Valle d'Aosta in mid-May, at which time I shall combine most of my casual travel buying Mother-of-Pearl and post-WWII chips from the reigion; material from the short-lived casinos set up by the local governments just after the war (nothing current; '70s or '80s). I'll be in Evian and then in Lausanne early-May visiting friends and then a day or two in Stressa and slowly working my way south to Villa San Giovanni; the home of my Mother's father... and only those few days should not be in the way of me meeting with whomever has material to sell. I'll provide all contact info and mobile numbers enroute, and my current mailing address and phone: P.O. Drawer 1423, Loxahatchee, FL 33470-USA. Tele/Fax: 1-561-798-2520. Benedict@webtv.net

The M-O-P chips/plaques do not need to be casino related; personal material is fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I hope we can meet on the way.

If I can do anything for you, pleases do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you...
