<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9930523, member: 10944"]Hmm interesting thought and examples that have popped up. This set has long since parted from me. I wish I still had better photos of the case. I would have bet a considerable amount that the case and boxes within were significantly older than the 1960’s. The box was lined with beautiful fabric, probably silk. Everything about it suggested to me at least a few decades earlier than the 60’s if not into the late 19th. I can’t say for sure though. I don’t doubt that Birdseye saw similar chips all the time in the 60’s but maybe my particular set was older. They are simple chips and it would make sense the style saw use over a wide period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
