This set is said to be from the estate of Joseph Griesedick one of the Griesedick Bros. who brewed a beer that in my opinion was better than Budweiser (when Gussie bought the Cardinals the Griesedick sign on the old ball field fence drove him nuts and once the lease was over it came down. Further, Griesedick used a sexy woman to advertise its beers by saying something like "Boys...girls love your Griesedick"...when I first heard it while driving into St. Louis I nearly had an accident I and my law school brothers were laughing so hard). Anyway, the chips are not rare and the ivory marker is not anything terribly special but the set is beautiful.
