In honor of Doug Saito's big auction of casino trinkets next month, I'll try to post some scans of things in my collection, hopefully ones that are not in the auction. This is an interesting specialty and, at least until Doug started selling these things, a cheap one [g].
Here is a Benny Binion token dated 1952 and catalog number 26907.0 in the "Nevada Casino Promotional Tokens" book. This one is pretty scarce; I don't remember seeing another in my scrounging the dealer tables at shows. I have no history on it, but it appears just to be a lucky token, probably given out to players in the 50's.
