for sale Rare Hyde Park Casino London chips for sale

The desk clearance re-commences.

I got these with other UK chips some weeks ago but had to do quite a bit of research with people who worked at these 1970's places before offering them.
Jason Skinner's site mentions that this casino did not open under the name on the chips as Ladbrokes lost their licence, and Jason shows some chips which were used by Metropole at their gaming school. The chips he shows, I have just discovered, were in fact the reserve rack.

What I have just learned from an ex-manager is that the casino did in fact operate as the Hyde Park Casino after all, but only for 3 weeks before the licence was lost. Prior to that it had operated as the Ladbroke Club, after they originally opened it as 'Quentins'. NO CHIPS are known from either of those reigns.
It was thought that none of these chips existed either as it would appear that these are the only examples of the primary rack ever seen other than perhaps an odd notched sample (John Chamberlain may have had them at some point).

The £5 is SOLD OUT. I have two each of the other two available.

Price is a very low $30 per chip. Email me if interested.
