Mother of Pearl Poker Set

Hello,

I wanted to see if anyone would be able to answer some questions about some poker chips I acquired. I believe they are mother of pearl and have tested that based on what I have found online. I have attached photos of the chips,case and tag inside the case. Any information about these chips including value, year made etc..would be greatly appreciated. As of right now I know Von Lengerke & Detmold was an upscale sporting goods / gentleman's retailer in the 1920s. Games and guns for people like Teddy Roosevelt or Charles Lindbergh. Since Von Lengerke & Detmold was acquired in 1928 by Abercrombie & Fitch, this set would predate 1928.

Thank you,
Tim Brantley
