Hi Dick -

What I have is the e-mail from T.R. King & Co., Inc., the original manufacturer of the Stork Club chips. This e-mail documents the purchaser of the chips, his location, and the year of purchase - 1947.

Since I am confident that I know the approximate number of chips that exist today, the original number purchaed in 1947 was not my primary focus or concern.

I will try to find out the information though.

Terry
