Someone found a whole bunch of chips from the Diamond Club in NYC in a storage unit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Diamond-Club-NYC-600-Poker-Chip-Set-Famous-Underground-Illegal-Casino-New-York-/130583586389?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e67636655#ht_517wt_1398
The Diamond Club was one of two clubs that the underground clubs in Rounders were based on (the other being the Mayfair). Cool. I wrote the seller to ask about individual chip sales. I will update this when I get a response. Ironically, I already had a Diamond Club chip in the image section of my posts. These $1 chips, though, do not seem to have the dots around the inlay.
