That is wonderful. Thank you for sharing that from the "Last Testament".
The good old days before corporations. The end of prohibition forced in another means of revenue, gambling. Can you think of how many chips that we would not have if it wasn't for these great old gangsters? Chips & all the memorablia are so fascinating & this history of the revolution of it makes it all more interesting.
I didn't know they had gaming interest in some of those places like the Blue Room in Biloxi in the Roosevelt. I have old postcards of it but must be before the gaming.
The Gaming Table does list this as 40's to 50's.
Riviera Club, Marine Room, End of Geo. Washington Bridge, Fort Lee, NJ. as 1930 to 39. Then Bill Marden's 40's to 40's. Also listed as Riviera, The. Same dates as above.
Is there an additional info. exactly what year they closed?
Who has the chips to post? Who has chips from all the above mentioned. I would love to see them!
I have a red hub mold with building but not with me. Most of my collection is still in Vegas.
