Two $5 chips from the illegal poker room, the Diamond Club. Two variations - one with dots around the inlay, the other without.
This was an illegal poker room in New York City. It was closed in 2000 under then Mayor Rudy Giuliani's crackdown on vice.
This poker room was used as the model for "Teddy KGBs" casino featured in the movie "Rounders".
These chips were purchased in a storage lot auction (aka "Storage Wars") and put away for another 8 years.
Email me if interested.
