I just got these chips. Will put on eBay soon, but like to show them here first. I know of only 5 yellow ones; will sell those later. Note the photo below of page from U S Playing Card Co. (the manufacturer of the chips) sample-order-shipping page. The chips were sent --in 1914!!!-- to the Slack Manufacturing Co in Chicago Illinois. I have an old thick catalog from them. They were in the mail order novelty general merchandise business. They must have ordered the chips for one of their employees or customers. So, a UFC chip.
