<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 158089, member: 51"]If you are getting rid of these, I would put them on Ebay with an opening bid you are comfortable selling them at.

There was a monogrammed set of Backgammon chips that went over $200, but maybe two of the bidders had the initials on that particular, set "B.W.", and maybe Backgammon is more desirable. In general a monogram is a negative on antiques, but maybe it adds a bit of charm to this set or at least doesn't hurt value. I saw other sets selling as low as $14.99. I'm not sure what these particular chips were used for, but they seem to have some age from the style of lettering and overall look. Guessing they might be from the 30's-40's. One unique feature is that they are two-toned bakelite, with the white strip in the middle. I didn't see a single other set with this feature, so if you sell, be sure to point that out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
