| Description | A set of poker chips in three colors, yellow, red, and green. They each say "MOM" on them, likely custom ordered by the previous owner. There are two additional chips that don't seem to belong to the set. One is blue with a dog on it and the other is all white and blank on both sides. They are stored in a blue case which reads: One Hundred Poker Chips Finest Quality. There is a makers mark on the lid in the top left. They came into the collection with a Mahjong set but may not be related. |
