If you travel under the freeway from Oakland toward the Bay and go one stop light past the freeway on- ramp you end up in EMERYVILLE or if you just go down San Pablo too far....YOUR in EMERYVILLE AND this area was the designated area for poker and gaming since the shipyards wanted their personnel to have fun but outside of the city of Oakland or San Francisco....so Emeryville has has 30-40 different games and this chip has been discussed by Eastman, Saito, etc til it has become and remains.....Emeryville.....at least to me. Sure, it probably was taken up river to Lodi, Stockton, Sacramento, Roaring Camp and maybe even for a week of play in Locke for some Pai Gow......I dunno....great chip...anyone have another or any other color to trade?
