My Ivory poker chips with bees on them
In Response To: Re: Utah ()

(1) I had these for sale, many sold:

(2) Interesting story as to how I bought them. I was at the huge, famous, ouydoor flea market-antiques show at Brimfield, Mass. They hold it three times a year. I walk around with a "poker-chips-wanted" sign on my hat. A dealer approached me with a bag of these bee ivory chips, which he offered to sell. He said something like "$50." I hesitated, didn't know what to say. The chips were worth $50 EACH, but I wondered if he was pricing INDIVIDUAL chips or the WHOLE BAG of chips for $50. I finally said "OK," and he handed me the whole bag for the $50!
