Type: Card Room
Status: Unknown
Open: 1959

According to the Hunt & Co (Chicago, IL) order card records, 200 red, 200 blue, 100 yellow, and 100 white "B&B" DiSq-mold chips were shipped to Wilbur F. Barber at 1111 Webster St., Bakersfield, CA in 1959. The address was Barber's home residence. The 1959 Bakersfield directory identifies him as a "utilityman" working for Union Oil.

Pfaender (2004) also associates the SqSqRec-mold "B&B" chips with Barber, likely based on the similarity of the monogram. This attribution is in doubt.
