DOUG "CIGARMAN" SMITH
COLLECTOR OF SAMPLE CHIPS & FOREIGN CHIPS (ESPECIALLY PLAQUES & JETONS)!!
# LM-3209-147
Chip Name: HAMBONE - SPLASHBAR
Doug made the "HAMBONE - SPLASHBAR" personal chip because
"At the time I had this chip done, I already had chips made by Tiny Treasures, Debby Miester (Chipco), David Spragg and Sam Hepler.
I was looking for something new and at that time Ron Lammer was starting to design his own chips and posting quite a few of them on the chipboard.
They were actually made by some specialty company that usually made awards and was not really a chip maker.
They look like Chipcos, but they are not. Ron had freewill on the design and designed everything himself.
The most interesting thing about the chip is it says "SPASHBAR" and not Splashbar on it.
Both of us missed that when we reviewed the proof and it wasn't until I showed them on the board for the first time that someone pointed it out"
FRONT
YEAR MADE: May 2006

NOTE FROM DEREK BISTRICKY:
Even though I have only been collecting chips for one year,
some of my favorite chips are the ones made by Ron Lammer (his personals and ones made for other chip collectors).
This CigarMan personal is a fine example.
If you can help me in obtain chips created by Ron Lammer (for this series), please send me (Derek) an email.
Happy Chipping,
Derek Bistricky R-8169
