Drake & Co. was probably a company run by Harrington Drake.
Harrington Drake owned the KC Card Company and Mason & Co.
The 1927 KC Card Co. “Blue Book” (shown above, right) calls
the ship chip “Chips That Pass in the Night” and says it is
their exclusive design. The chips appear to be the KC Card
equivalent of the HC Evans exclusive “Florida Palms” chips.
The design was made by Matthew Andrew Daly (1860-1937) who
was the head of the USPC art department from 1903 until the
early 30’s (he’s better known today for the stuff he did
with Rookwood Pottery). The chip is, according to KC Card,
“the handsomest poker check made in the world.”
