So to follow on from my post yesterday:
http://www.thechipboard.com/index.cgi/page/1/md/read/id/1149831/sbj/ex-john-aspinall-illegal-of-the-day-and-more/
Starting with the pieces used in the illegal travelling chemin-de-fer game.
Remember that the real cash value of these was 1,000 times the printed numeral.
As with the real casino pieces I will be offering in the next post, I could only salvage 8 complete sets of which I am keeping one.
Yesterdays post described the usage of these pieces. The only thing I will add is that the MOP pieces bearing the "A" monogram/logo also depict animals from John's zoo.
I have broken these into 3 parts. The ochre and white pieces appear to be bakelite, which would be reasonable from the 1950's.
All bakelite items are to scale, with the 10,20,30 pieces being regular chip size (for comparative purposes). The circular MOP is regular chip size.
Email me if you are interested in any of these.
The set of 5 ochre pieces - 1, 5, 10, 20 & 30 will be $25 shipped
The set of 3 white pieces - 50, 100 & 250 will be $22 shipped
Take both sets for $45 and I will include the blank circular and oval pieces.
The MOP pieces are $15 each shipped or set of 3 for $40 shipped
$80 shipped buys an entire set of the 13 pieces shown.
