US Playing Card Co. took them off their sales list after the Nazi's came to power. I had a beautiful set of 300 for home play but a number of our players are Jewish and though they knew the history of the chips the symbol was so hated they woudl not play with them. So I sold them in 2002. I bought my first three in 1976 answering an ad in the Antique Trader in which the seller said his brother-in-law brought them back from Bremerhaven in 1938. Dale Seymour told me about them then.
