Many years ago I bought chips from the caretaker of the Mar-a-Lago estate. The chips (shown below) belonged to the original owners of the property: Edward Hutton and Marjorie Post.
Edward (E.F. Hutton - "When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen") was the poor half of this family. Marjorie Merriweather Post was the richest woman in the US. She inherited Postum Cereal Company and founded General Foods. Their daughter is Dina Merrill
As an aside, E.F. Hutton's niece was Barbara Hutton (poor little rich girl). Barbara was the granddaughter of F.W. (Frank) Woolworth. Barbara used to travel from New York to Florida on the Woolworth family train car: The JAPAULDON. I mention this because there is a JAPAULDON crest and seal chip that I am looking for (JAPAULDON was Jessie woolworth'shusband, James Paul Donahue)
