I've asked about these chips before and I recall that several folks, including Messrs. Trimble and Myers, feel strongly that these are not from any establishment owned or operated by Ernie Primm.

TGT lists "EPC Club" (Sm-key and zigzag molds) as "location unknown" but also has two listings for "Ernie Primm's Club". One is Gardena CA (where Ernie had the Rainbow and the Monterey) and the other is 241 N. Virginia St. Reno, opened 1955 closed 1974, no mold identified.

241 N. Virginia St. was the location for the Primadonna. I was in Reno from 1959-1962 and don't recall any "Ernie Primm's Club" at that location.

So I have two questions/requests:

1. Anybody have any information about this club at this location?

2. Can anyone who has one of these chips or has sold one or is selling one provide us with any proof that these particular chips can be attributed to any organization affiliated with Ernie Primm? I've asked this question of several ebay sellers and none have even responded so I assume they don't. I've just posed the question with this particular seller and will let you know how/if he responds. Anybody else--

And, by the way, given the frequent listings of these on ebay I think it dubious to refer to them as "rare".

Thanks for entertainment on a slow day in Seattle.
