Ivory set I am KEEPING -- JOSEPHINE SET. One collector called it the best ivory chip set around, all and all. 699-ivory-chip set (one chip missing) in original case; personal registered nautical pennant (burgee) on chip traced to one of richest men in Philadelphia and America; named "Josephine" after his ill wife; 225 foot yacht named "Josephine" -- so wife, chips and yacht all named "Josephine." The 1896 yacht was given to US gov't. for action in Spanish-American War and WW I.
