Re: I have found some info on it

Roy, nice poker chip set. The cards are another story -- pretty common, worth $5 or so. The deck is one of 81 different designs of the USPC Co's Bicycle/808 brand card line. It became the best known brand of playing cards in the world because of its high quality and low price. Your deck's design is called "New Fan." The USPC has a letter code on the ace of spades on most of their cards. The "H" (which is on your card) means the deck was made in 1905, 1926, 1946, 1966 or 1986, per a 1991 newsletter I have (the letters alternate for each year). As noted, the deck is not a good indication of the age of the poker chip set.
