... to put their name on the chips.

Casino Forges-les-Eaux

The two lower chips are from the 1950s...

I introduced the blue 1000Ff to European collectors about 15 year ago. They were found in a cabinet in a coffee shop in Paris. The owner's daughter had read one of my ads in a Paris newspaper one Sunday and faxed me a copy of the chip. The fax came thru as a big black blob and I had no idea what is was. After I bought them I sent one to Reynckens who wasn't too sure, either. Once he did research on the casino logo it all became clear as to what it was.

Then, a few year later, I found some Forges-les-Eaux chips from the early-60s that had both the logo and name on them... They were found in a tool chest (in a barn) outside of Treport...
