So, if you look at my ebay sales (I go by "snoozin"), you'll see the story - but in a nutshell, my brother Mike was an avid collector from the time he was a young kid. As he got older, and had more money, he spent it on items, many from eBay.

As far as these particular chips, I am not certain if they were his or our mother's. Likely his, as he lived in the Bay area, near San Francisco from the time he was in his late teens. He had an antique store for a while, and also did swap meets. He did a lot of "hunting" for items. Somewhere along his travels I'm sure he came across these. He probably thought they were from the REX in Vegas, but I'm not certain. Since he passed away, I can't ask, darn it!

I appreciate all the help. I haven't been able to find that there was a REX Club in Taft... yet... but I'll keep digging!
