Notes:
� chips are in excellent condition -- no nicks, for example.
... Beautiful, pure shimmering, glistening, unblemished pearl-white
as shown above -- all 355 chips are that way.
� large-size chips -- of the nine denomination chips, five are
2 inches or more, and the other four are about 1-1/2 inches. All 355
chips weigh 8 pounds, not including container and packaging.
� chips are engraved on one side; other side is plain.
� provenance: I got this set from a person who says that
his grandparents acqired the set while they were living in Paris, France,
during the 1930s.
