for sale illegal Streamline Hotel, Daytona Beach for sale

This is the last day of my single bid auction for this R-10 (3 known) illegal chip from the Streamline Hotel in Daytona Beach Florida. Please make your highest bid by 7:00 pm Eastern Time tonight and I will notify the winner on by 10:00 pm. I reserve the right to withdraw the offer at any time until it is accepted.

This is a fully attributed blue, harp mold chip, with gold hot stamp, and was shipped to D. L. Knowles c/o the Streamline Hotel on November 22, 1940. As you can see from the scan, the cross-hatching is in excellent condition.

The chip was manufactured in 3 colors: Pink (600), Yellow (300), and Blue (100). There were only 100 of this chip manufactured and only three of these blue chips are known to exist. The illegal gambling at the Streamline Hotel, and the chip, is mentioned in Mark Lighterman's Guide to Florida Gambling Establishments, but is not pictured. This is a recent find.

The Streamline Hotel still exists Daytona Beach. It has undergone remodeling, but still retains its famous Art Deco look.

Serious bids for this rarity only, please. Payment to be by PayPal or personal check from CCGTCC members in good standing.
