New York Club
Long Branch NJ
Picked up by Mr Charles Koelker At the Newark office of Mason.
Michael Richter found the first 3 colors in 1999.
I have what I believe to be 8 colors but do not have the white one. That would make 9 colors, but only 8 on the record card. Could be a 2nd order card somewhere.
Anyone have a white one? If so, I want it.
There is plenty of info on this place on the internet. Google it.
Robert Treat Hotel
Newark, NJ
1937
I’ve only had this chip since 2000, so haven’t had time to research it, yet!!!
