~~~ especially while pertaining to the original topic of conversation; the identification of actual Mother-of-Peal chips and plaques made for and used at the club... Where the club was located means virtually nothing; years of operation does, especially for maybe one or two reasons in being able to actually authenticate the pieces (unmentioned here).

There's a lot of sloppy work out there with claims of where and when some MOP gaming pieces were used... The same with Ivory.
