I was in Cale Guthmiller territory and I went to a number of antique store/junk shops. At the last, which really had the most modern and questionable stuff, I found a large carousel of chips. The carousel has 14 slots for 25 chips each (350 total), which contained Langworthy style chips of three colors (white, red, black). Both sides of each chip has RK hot stamped on them. A set for Roy Klein? It all suggests a home set, but the font on the chips is the font commonly used on older chips, especially illegals. I find that newer home sets are more likely to have less interesting block letters. Unless there is compelling evidence otherwise, I will believe this is a home set. My question is, how old do you think these are?
Any information appreciated.
