Estate Sale Find Today

I was lucky enough to get a jump on the Memorial Day and went to an estate sale here in the Cincinnati area. This time I was one of the first ones there. I bought a carousel of old poker chips. Most were old generic chips but, to my surprise there were some Yorkshire Club chips in it. There were also some blue dot mold chips with "PC" and a couple blue small key molds with "C-P $10 ". Has anyone ever seen these before? I asked the old guy sitting there and he said they were his chips and that he used to gamble at the Beverly Hills and other clubs back in the 1940's. He said he knew a lot of gamblers of the time, but was not sure where these "PC" chips came from. I threw out the name "Primrose Club" , but he couldn't be sure. Concerning the Yorkshire chips, There seem to be two types ...a faded red chip with a very matte texture and very deep red-burgundy chips with a very shiny finish. Both types are well worn, but the color and texture differences prevail. Is this just the diffence between chip orders?
