~~~ has been exhibited at the South Florida Fair in the past and on dislplay at Whitehall; Flagler's home on Palm Beach. The table was also outfitted with "B" die-cut clay composition chips... neither of which I believe have ever been used at the BC in Palm Beach.
According to Herbert Swope; when I spoke with him in the early 1990s, all chips were Mother-of-Pearl... and, according to a historian in Paris' 15th, every piece of furniture came from Caro.
