A better look at American Legion Post 202 chips...

So.... I was in Huntsville, AL the other day and visited an Antique Mall. I came across these American Legion (Post 202) chips in the Triangles (TRIANG) mold. According to Robert Eisenstadt's most excellent 'mold design' site, TRIANG molded chips originated from the A.E. Schmidt Company of St. Louis, MO. Dates are not given, nor is it specified if Schmidt manufactured or distributed TRIANG chips. Robert has the mold catalogued as MD-54.

I've looked for these chips in TGT and they are not listed. In my first post here about these chips, I was advised that each State, could possibly have a Post 202, as numbering was State unique and started at 1 for American Legion Posts. So, next step will be to contact the various American Legion Post with the 202 designation. From Google, this is the list I have so far:

Herbert Williams American Legion Post 202, Columbia, MO
Topsham Memorial Post 202. Topsham, ME
American Legion Post 202, Hackensack, MN
Williamsport American Legion Post #202 - Williamsport, MD
American Legion Post 202, Fayetteville, NC
American Legion Post 202, Gettysburg, PA
American Legion Post 202 Butler (Ft. Wayne) IN
American Legion Coleman A. Young Post 202, Detroit, MI
George A. Powell Sr. Post 202, Newton, CT
American Legion Post 202, Brentwood, CA
American Legion Post 202, Medino, OH
American Legion Post 202 - Wichita Falls, TX
American Legion Alison-Ivey Post 202, Benton, LA
American Legion Post 202, Keystone Heights, Fl
American Legion Post 202, Elmore City, OK
Harristown American Legion Post 202, Franklin, KY
American Legion Post 15 / 202, Sumter, SC
American Legion Post 202, Vienna, GA

I stopped searching after 10 Google pages of hits! Any short-cuts to identifying where these are from will be appreciated.

Thanks for looking!
