Inlayed arodie chips, like the others you are mentioning, are a completely different story.
There is no proof, no records, of where any VS chip is from.

The VS attribution is very recent. Way after I started collecting and researching. I just dont buy it.
Do Howdy, Jim and David all think it is from Val Sneed's? That was the issue under discussion. (Not the date of the Burt fire or the $5 Pioneer)
