I struck out, looking at old newspaper archives.
In Response To: Old chip boxes ()

Nothing with those initials on the old newspaper archives (ancestry.com, genealogybank.com) that I have access to. Also looked at New York City directories from the 1890s, and no listing under those initials.

By the way, the term "engraved poker checks" first shows up in 1889 in newspapers ads.
