My vivid imagination shows me an official from the Club walking into the chipmaker's shop with an early piece, asking; "Can you supply us with a set matching this 'E.C' which doesn't need to be elaborate; though suit our purpose?" At which time, I can see the chipmaker responding; "I have just the set which will strike your fancy... Let me go get some examples to show you." And, upon the chipmaker returning, he explains; "I have this set with denominations on the reverse... and I can have Clark, my head engraver, stamp the E.C monogram on the obverse." And the deal was done.

And now I would like to wish all a joyful time with family and friends...

May God bless...
