Moose - Elk - Mule - Take Your Choice !!

The Red chip below is supposed to be from Moose Lodge 632 in I believe Rosemead, CA. Both sides of the chip are shown - "animal" on one side - "Moose 632" on the other side. The "animal" depicted on the chip sure looks to be a variety of "Elk" not a Moose. In the bottom scan there are several varieties of Elk head chips with thin antlers (on the right) and Moose head chips with thick large antlers (on the left) with the 632 chip in the middle for comparison.

I don't think the Boys at the "Moose Lodge 632" were very happy to see their arch rival Fraternal Organization "Mascot" depicted on their Club chips they ordered for a back room poker game.

So is this a Moose chip, an Elk chip or a "Mule" ?? Somebody really screwed this on up !! One of the oddest chips I have in my Fraternal Organization chip collection.

Take care,
Jerry "Scratching My Head" Birl
