I believe I gave them to you at one time as I got them at one time. I had a customer who had this old roulette table for sale. He bought it with all the chips pictured. I offered to buy all the chips, which was declined. He did give me a couple of each. I didn't get any information as to where the table came from etc.
The Robert Treat Hotel is still open. I occasionally see a man in Newark who is close to 100 and was a Vaudeville performer. He has lots of stories, but he is hard to keep focused. He always goes into song and dance. He reminds me of Buddy Epson. Anyway when I ask him about gambling in Newark he says yes there was gambling, but that's all I can get out of him. He doesn't recall any details.
I have another friend who is close to 80 and lived his whole life in Newark. He can tell you stories all day. Ask him about gambling he doesn't know anything.
