Production of Ivory, MOP and Bone

Highly doubtful; even without manufacturer records (of which there are many from Caro, Briotet, Jost and others), notes and sketches that tradesmen, turnersk, carvers and engravers would come in to work and sit around in hopes of a customer wanting to build a set when, we know for fact inventories that even had lot numbers included an array of numerals and designs that were not part of any single production...(though close and thus variations).

There have been several posts here showing what 'stock' and 'special order' inventories involve and, regarding Ivory gambling chips, much of that has been posted here (and archived) as coming from Kenny Craig and, the same practice is een on both Ivory and MOP.

The majority of most non-casino/club Ivory, MOP and Bone chips, plaques and ietons were stock, generic and, to the tune of not completing any one production in order to hopefully customize it if needed.
