The owner of the Top of the Vine Casino also owns Royce 600 who is the manufacturer of brass core chips in Southern California just over the "Grapevine" highway #5. This company was purchased from Reliable Die Casting in 1995. The owner, Jim Pontillo made a one dollar chip with "Top of the Vine " in very small letters and later decided to make another issue with large letters above the $1. What is interesting for those with a "loop" (Don), is that he used the Viejas "Eagle" at the bottom of the first issue with small letters!!!. Compare the "Eagle" with that of the Calif. Indian Casinos , Viejas logo. Guess they did not take the die and he used part of it for his own use. If there is a chip with "top of the Mark".....I hope it is not brass, 'cause I do not know of any. Ask Don to sscan his $4 red Anniversay chip for all to see, because that is the pride and treasure of the Top of the Vine. Mel
