The rectangle heart chips with the "S" inside the "C" belonged to Colley Shepard. Mr. Shepard was a craps dealer at the Indiana Club. Like many gamblers, he had his own chips.
Time frame....about the end of the war.[per the owners son]Colley Shepard ran a floating craps game in "Shady acreas" Trailer park and later built the Bel Air Motel on US 31 E. [still standing]
There is also a pink $5 chip but it is very hard to obtain as it is still being used in very private games.
More later about why all the Indiana club chips are in pristine condition.
