The Harvey's Wagon Wheel roulettes

Not too many chips were made this way. They are inlaid, plain mold chip with a design hot-stamped on the inlay. No indication of table numbers; this was late forties and not a lot of visitors yet to Tahoe and maybe there was only one wheel?

TCR lists six colors, but I think there are only five. My guess is that the "pi" pink and the "lv" lavender are the same chip. Any way, I've never found both, the Chip Guide doesn't have pics of six, and neither does LarryH's Reno Chips site. I'd like to hear from you if you have all six colors.

I bought a set of five colors in Doug's auction to get the white one (off white, in TCR). He indicates in the description that these are "stenciled", but I can feel the design with my fingernail and would call them hot-stamped with a light impression. All are stamped in red.

These four are now dupes. Value code "L" in TCR. All have partially complete stamps and are readable. The red is the best I've found in terms of wear. The lot sold for $140.

Your choice for $30 or all four for $110. I'll pay postage.
