Pam... this is the chip that propelled me into the spotlight on this Board and gave me a reputation of being a little agrumentive about color.
I found this in a local antique shop in a frame with 11 low-end chips. This is my IMFAMOUS 10 cent HOW-CAN-YA-CALL-THIS-FUSHCIA??? "One-armed Bandit"
I don't have it it anymore
After many many offers and months of consideration, I sold this rare gem to one of my mentors - a diehard obsolete dime collector
(where I have been assured it rests lovingly with it's brothers and cousins of Nebada obsoletes.
Part of our "deal" included a replacement Bandit (since I too love the little guy) - which was the more common green 10c chip - probably the same one you have.
This chip will always have a place in my heart.
It was so exciting to find a rare chip (especially when I didn't know it was rare when I bought it)
I don't think there are more than a half dozen of these around... so GOOD LUCK in finding one!
