[JONES, Buck (1891-1942)]. Personal monogrammed poker chip set of Western actor Buck Jones. Set of nearly 400 Monarch mold clay chips in green, blue, red, and white, each hot-stamped in gilt “BJ” at center. In four 100-capacity wooden racks with swirled amber-colored handles, within a wooden box with engraved “BJ” name-plate to lid. With four playing-card deck slots at sides; includes four Congress decks, probably added later. Box marked “Zenx” inside and numbered “1267”. Box scratched and with several stress cracks and worn or loose joints, including bottom; likely to require repair. Literature: The Gaming Table, p. 58, describes Jones’ personal set as “BJ w/arched line above, straight line below/Mold: Monarch”). Provenance: Collection of Robert Eisenstadt (acquired from a seller who reported that the set was purchased from Jones’ wife, Dell).
