"Floor sweeper" isn't a term I've heard until recently, in this case it refers to chips that the manufacturer apparetly used to test hotstamp dies for effect. Checking apperance, contact and alignment, sometimes these test chips were struck more than once and overstamped in the process. These test chips were discarded, possibly tossed on the floor and swept up. As cultists we find even these critters to be of interest.
"Snappers" are $2.50 chips used to pay off a $5 Blackjack win. The nimble fingered dealer will snatch one out of the house rack along with a $5 chip, making a snapping sound. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
Thanks for the Town House card, I went by the address and it is loooooong gone.
