The Pioneer chip as a size reference.

I went visit a guy who said he had a few Tahoe chips he wanted to sell yesterday(Monday). I had given him my contact info about 3 weeks ago. He finally called and I met with him. He didn't have any Tahoe chips... actually only 3 from Nevada. He did have 7 binders with chips from all over the U.S.... almost 500 chips in total. The RED chip was included. It said whale bone on the package but looks like wood to me! lol Any Ideas of orgin?
Binders...
2 w/ California
1 w/ Washington
1 w/ RiverBoat States
1 w/ Florida
1 w/ Colorado and South Dakota
and 1 w/ New Jersey and other areas of the country (no Illegals)
I did a quick review and din't find any Gems... nothing older than late 80's early 90's. A few pics to follow.
