Salton Bay chips are a little less common than Desser House chips. To this day I am still missing the 10 cent chip.

I took a different route with this one in terms of the construction. I did not drill all the way through, I just drilled recesses. I really need some Blue Tack or something to hold them in place. Becuase I didn’t use acrylic as a cover, this is just a sheet of laminate (for laminating paper). To hold it in place, I hammered T-nuts into the plywood, and used hex cap screws with washers. The postcard I bought on Ebay, and laminated myself.
In other news, there is plenty of info about the Salton Bay Yacht Club out there. But one of the coolest things I ever saw on eBay but did not buy (and I kick myself to this day) was the below photo. The guy was selling a group of photos, this was the only one that had anything to do with the club or Salton City, the rest were of this guy styling and profiling with his new whip. The photos were watermarked but I used AI to remove it. I saved this one – I wish I had just bought the damn thing so I could scan it properly!
