I got these chips from a guy in Gatineau, Quebec. He said they came from an old estate. That's all I know for sure. The chips may not be from this box but, it says noiseless, so maybe. There are two different size chips so probably not in the same box. Being from Quebec there is a French connection. Who was the E.E. Bechtold Co.? When did they operate? All I know for sure is I know very little for sure.
