Opera House 1991 Unicorn Set - New Find

In 1991, the Opera House in North Las Vegas ordered a set of three new
chips...unicorn mold... in denominations of $5, $25 and $100. They were supposed to be
No Cash Value chips and were to be used in tournaments and other promotions. After
being used on a couple of occasions, two problems were noticed:. the chips did not say
"No Cash Value" and the location was incorrectly shown as "Las Vegas" as opposed to
"N. Las Vegas." The chips were not used again.

Just before the recent convention at the Orleans I obtained a limited number of these
chips. They are one of the 15 September Specials on the Chips Off the Old Block website
(http://pages.prodigy.com/cotob/), priced as follows: $5 = $15; $25=$20, $100 = $25.
The set of all three chips will be $49. A scan of these chips can be viewed at the
following address:

If you would like to reserve a set of these previously unknown chips, please reply to this
e-mail or call 1-888-CHIPS-97. An additional $2 for postage and insurance would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks!
