There are a few collectors of antique poker chips who read this so I thought I'd post a picture of a variety of the "Elephant in Trap" chip that Dale first showed in the Club Magazine last year. This is Seymour PA-FV.

The biggest difference is the size of the rope tying the elephant. I've highlighted several other areas that indicate the design was definitely done by two different engravers. Note the rope wrapping around the tree, the rope around the RF leg, the rope crossing the RR leg, and finally the rendering of the tail.

I know Dale has pretty much stopped adding variations to the old designs to his book, but I collect them and thought you might like to see this one as well.

I have an extra of the red "thick rope" variety that I'd like to trade for other colors of the "thin rope" variety.
