The NF/Chinese symbol H&C chips were found in a Bay area storage locker, and reportedly were used in a San Francisco area Asian club, per J. Eric Freedner.

A "Nam Fong Social Club" at 725 Webster Street, Oakland, CA was raided on 10/4/1971, with 26 participants arrested for participating in an illegal pai gow game (see Archive).

The Burt Co. sold 4000 of these H&C mold chips in five colors to the Paul-Son Dice & Card Co on 9/28/1970.
