I really wanted to say rare instead of scarce but there are some on ebay for sale right now. The picture in Dale Seymour's book is not real clear, this will give you an idea of what the chip looks like. I have 2 of them and the difference between the 2 is, 1 has 3 tail feathers and the other has 4 tail feathers. When these were engraved it was done by hand and then no 2 are exactly the same. Would be nice to know when the hand engraving started and stopped and the machine engraving started. I am quite new to this Antique chip collecting, my collection started 4 years ago last month.
Thanks for looking.......................Rog
