T. R. King sold 2660 of these large crown chips in six colors to A. J. Seidenbecker, Broadway Cigar Store, 342 West Broadway, San Diego, California, between 1941 and 1946.

The "Broadway Cigar Store" was at 342 West Broadway, from the early 1930s until 1946. It was raided for bookmaking in 1939. A couple of blocks away was a "cigar store" called the "616 Club", owned by Albert Seidenbecker (open from 1941 to 1948). It was next door to the ”Smoke House”, which also had a card room, and similar style chips.

The above listing is from the 1942 San Diego Yellow Pages, under "Cigars & Tobacco, Retail" (Library of Congress).
