Monte Carlo Club, Las Vegas NV, 1951 -- two inlaid heart in Large Crown chips (T R King Co., California mold

DESCRIPTION: Recent find. Two chips pictured above up for auction. The chips are valued at $75-$99 EACH in my latest copy of the The Chip Rack (11th edition, 2009), and are dated 1951. I am told that they are valued at $60-$74 EACH in the 13th edition Chip Rack. The Monte Carlo Club was open 1945-55. It was an early downtown Las Vegas club (on Fremont St.), the same location as the earlier Northern Club. Return privileges.
