I can tell you that there are at least 3 more chip ashtrays that match it...Tropicana, Sands and Desert Inn.
About 5-6 years ago is the first time we saw the chip trays, they were priced around $200 or $300 each!!! They stayed in the booth in the antique mall for several months, but they finally sold...don't know if they ever got marked down, or if they sold for the full price.
In my opinion they were sold as souvenirs, possibly as a set of 4. There's not a lot of them around (we only have 3 of the 4) but not all collectors want them, since they weren't used in the casinos. Kinda' like the Borlands of ashtrays .
Value?? I dunno....Mark, Where are you??
