Here is what I had written about it:
*SOUTHLAND (on levee, Jefferson Parish, near New Orleans) --no denomination, black, raised circle(monarch) mold, hot-stamped: "southland" and picture of horseshoe and bowie knife,faint shallow
hot-stamping. owner, A. G. Rickerfor. Opened 1932, closed c. 1945 ($23) (note: per p. 234
of 1998 TGT) . The chip is pictured in the records of Hunt and Co., Chicago ILL., the national gambling
supply company which distributed the chip in 1934. (per "Howdy's Guide to Hunt & Co.")
... ... .... Note: recently some collectors have attributed this chip to the Club Southland,
6245 Cottage Grove Avenue, Chicago ILL, which was active in the 1930's.
