Roy, the scan plays some visual games....

when we try to get a close look. Gets grainy and a little amorphic. We had worked quite a bit on this for some time directly from the picture with high magnification. It really is very dissimilar than the clover leaf. Also the way the picture is taken, and the different position of the figure makes them difficult to evaluate.

We came up with a drawing that, when you put it on top of each chip and play with it, is very much like most of them. Except for a couple of chips where a piece of our drawing appears to be missing, like one of the stems going out of the center, practically all fall within the basic drawing.

I do not have our very nice polished drawing with me. But I am showing one of the initial prototype that we did by hand which is not exactly like our final one, but helps you get the picture. Look at the drawing in different angles and try to compare it to the drawing. Is like a two Cs with backs to each other with one of the "X" long stem appearing thicker than the other, also making it look a little like an N, anyway, we have gone crazy over the year and cannot find anything similar in this side of the world.

Also I suspect at that time they were probably purchased it from the USSR not from the USA. And backwards C's would make sense, at that time in a socialist country they probably could not come up with something better than Casinos de Cuba. CC vbg vbg
