Subject: Chinese Poker Chips

If any one out there can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I am looking for
information on Chinese Poker Chips. These items are intricately carved
mother-of-pearl gaming chips which were carved for one person or family. They
were probably used in San Francisco or any such place that the Chinese first
settled. After the evening's play, the owner would redeem his chips from the
house and take them away. I work for a museum and we have received a few of
these items. Unfortunately I need more information and cannot find any. Thank
you in advance for your help.
