Not new, actually; just not recorded. The Ivory horsehead, ID-CC were from a set I sold to him in 1978. They were a set of 700 plus markers
and in a set in a shipping crate marked 1858. The set was sent to F. Grote, in Saratoga, NY. Mr. Grote had an illegal casino in that town. The
chips were inherited by Mr. Grote's great niece, Mrs. Harold (Wilma) Crowell of Liverpool, NY. and were still in the original crate. The chips
were in good condition but showed some wear. I have since added the chips to my Casino category.
