John, I agree with you completely. I myself have gotten into the old card room chips. I just like the history that can be with them. And most are very reasonable in price for a new collector. However I do like the old fractional chips from Nevada. What I pass on all of the time are the Chipco chips. Small little pieces of art I suppose, but not a chip looking thing for me. And as you said, we all collect a little differently and together it is a fun hobby. There is really no wrong way. Just your own way.

I asked about the Westward Ho only because today while looking for fractional chips I picked up this one. It is the short cane and I remember not to long ago someone was looking for either the short or long one.
