Did you guess who they are?

AKA Dean Martin and "Jimmy the Greek" Snyder. (my note: is it possible Dean handled these chips?)

Unfortunately, I didn't come across any info that either worked at the Jefferson Club. By all accounts, Martin worked at a gambling room at the rear of the Rex Cigar Store--located across the alley from the Jefferson Club.

Recieved this pertaining to Dean Martin and The REX Club:

I've attached a snip from a 1959 article about how Dean Martin got his job at the Rex Cigar.
