I have some of the house mold "longhorn" chips. Yellow & white. Inlaid as well. We call these the 5th issue. Yours are 4th. We only had the red center inlays listed on yours. I knew there were more to add but we hadn't seen the chips & didn't get much help from roulette collectors. There could be a another book on this subject alone. Any takers on wanting to write a book? Hey something to do while snowed in?
I got just under a box mixed which included some odd ones. Scanned a pair tonight for ebay but didn't get anything up there. I priced mine the same at $6 each on a flyer I sent out months ago when I found them. We are thinking the same on prices! How many do you want to trade so we can both have some? Let me know & I can send some with your recent ebay bargain winnings.
Will you be at the Super Bowl show?
I still would like to know where the heck you are digging in the snow to be finding more unlisted chips than I????? Even if I was still living in Vegas I can't come up with as many as you have in the last few weeks! Keep up the good work! All the power to you! I remember the old days travelling around Nevada, 5 years or so ago, & actually finding chips I had never seen before. Still happens sometimes. Need to make a trip again I guess. We should team up! Last good find I can recall right now is the Ace Of Clubs, from Ely. A nice T mold $5. Not much could ever top the excitement though of unwrapping the old silver dollar cardboard roll around the Club 50 McGill, Nevada $5.00 chips. The lady said she didn't recall a name on them but when I unwrapped that roll & saw that gold hot stamping starring me in the face, it was like hitting the loto! They had been wrapped & put away since the 50's!
