Louisiana Cruise LTD chips

The Louisiana Cruise Limited, Bud Jones coin Inlay chips came from a day cruise ship operating out of Biloxi, MS. About 1988 to 1991. When dockside gaming was approved, the ship moved to Galveston. It also operated out of New Orleans at some point between 1980 and 1991.
Wally Taranto had the table game concession on the ship. Wally is a long time Vegas casino man. There is also a $1 chip that is in Mark Lighterman and Bob Ginberg's Florida book. The $1 chip is still being used on a ship out of the Carolinas, I think. Wally sold off the $1 chips when he took over and replaced them with tokens. Mark and Bob had not seen these chips before I found them last year.
When the ship moved to Galveston Wally took the coin inlays off the ship. Wally has been a friend for many years. I am making the chips available to collectors for Wally. There are not many of the $100 chip when compared to the $5 and $25.

I had 30 of these sets last year and offered them on the BB. Wally has since passed on. I have 4 sets remaining from the original 30.
Proceds will go to Wallys wife. I do not mean to imply that there was only 30 sets. Wally did have some more. Not sure of the status of them at this time.
They are nice chips.

$25 plus $1 postage.
