Thank you to two club members for the chips and the newspaper articles from the 1940's.
The articles mention the WW and The Shelton gang. The Sheltons were a gang similar to the Capone gang but on a smaller scale that operated in IL. They are associated with many illegal chips sold in IL. I have two other articles that clears city and county officals in the payoff scheme. Sounds like several Grand Jury reports from Newport, KY.
Only the yellow chip has a denomination.
Chips shipped to 3036 Peoria RD-Angelo D. Giamoco-im 1948.
