Very cool chips. The values came from a Doug Saito auction many, many years ago. I bought the brown dual denomination chip from one of those auction and perhaps the Millionaire's as well (although not sure about that one).
The story from Doug was that the place was a casino and brothel and the chips could be used for either $1.00 on the table of $0.25 for the "other" services (perhaps vice-versa). I've never run across any information on the Fink's Club to substantiate the story.
Although the value wouldn't be $400 today, I believe it would still be a couple hundred. At least that is what I would pay for the ones I don't have.
