Sharkey had poker. He passed away about a year after selling his casino/museum. He was a great guy and once ran or was partner in Cal Neva Tahoe and others!
Union Plaza had a $3 Baccarat shoe chip. Then later a hot stamped one.
Somebody I believe in Reno or Tahoe had a $3.60 chip; Wonder where they were from if Norweigians have $3.45's
Great Austin picture did you get that card off ebay ?
Here's my uncle and grandpa in 1949 at the Pink Cricket Montecito. Next to Santa Barbara. Later Uncle Freddie played Sahara Tahoe as well as the Holiday Reno. Grandpa left Santa Barbara to play at the Sands in Vegas in 60 with Morrey King and His Violins.
