There has always been controversy surrounding the attribution of this chip. The C/W book attributes it to the Las Vegas Club after a number of these chips were found in the wall of the Las Vegas Club during reconstruction.
For lack of further proof, TCR has not recognized this chip as being a Vegas chip.
I have just received information from Jim Blanchard that this chip is a wheel chip (IMPORTANT: it is NOT a home poker chip) delivered by the Burt Company to Paul-Son (a Las Vegas Club distributor) in Las Vegas in 1967.
Jim says he is 98% sure it's from the Las Vegas Club.
I hope TCR will now include this chip in TCR 9.
