Re: CHIP I.D.
In Response To: CHIP I.D. ()


GL Chips: All that is known about these chips is that they are Crest & Seal mold, type: US Paying Card Co. (circa 1925), and were made in the following denominations: 75¢, $2, $3 and $4.

Recently, several of these chips have made their way to US shores from Cuba. The denominations are typical of those used on Cuban chips during the 1920s to '40s.

I just spoke with Henry, and he said he got his examples from a collection in Cuba, also. Where they were used or when they were used is currently unknown.

Also, they all seem to have the two drilled holes.
