IVORY POKER CHIPS -- 25's, BEES and MONOGRAMS
condition ratings:
EXCELLENT-VERY FINE -- my highest rating: mint or near mint.note: the chip codes and value ratings cited below in the table are from Dale Seymour's "Antique Gambling Chips, Revised Edition" (1998). All the ivory chips in this web site are antique/vintage in every way -- both the ivory and the scrimshawing are from the 19th or early 20th century.
FINE -- quite attractive, insignificant wear.
OK -- average, good chip, some wear, but uniform/even wear.
POOR -- some defects or considerable wear (defects, if any, are spelled out)

Incidentally I discovered this code; I bought the original box
of 99 of these chips. All have the "L" engraving on one side; the
reverse side is plain. � 1-5/16." � excellent condition. � I have the chip in three types, all for sale -- red engraving, black (maybe dark blue) engraving (sorry, black-dark blues sold out), and natural (i.e., no paint in the engraving).
