Great story on this one by Gene just after the convention.

On the face of it, this looks like a rare find from this Los Angeles operation, but was it only used there?
I had just a small query over the evidence
Delivered in December 1929 to the Cal Neva, Lake Tahoe. Apparently seized from LA in 1930.
I have it on very good authority that at that time of year, the route from Crystal Bay into CA would have been totally impassible due to the weather. So how could he have moved them there in time to be seized a month later. Of course you also wonder how the mailman managed to get them there in the first place. Could they have been moved later? Could they have been used in more then one place? No-one will ever know.

Anyway, I bought these 10 chips while the attribution was still "1st issue Cal Neva" and as such they cost me $30 each.
Therefore I am selling the 9 spares at $32 shipped, or will trade for something I need of equal value.

If you want to trade, read my lead-off post to see what I am after:
