Although a great work, it's outdated. There has been much information that has surfaced over the years. For example, that guide shows a "T&T Club" chip. While researching my Illegal Gambling Clubs of Toledo book, I discovered that the T&T Club was only a wire service and never had any table games. I contacted Gene to see what he could dig up on it. It was discovered by the friend of the hobby, that this chip actually was "I & I"- Isaac & Isaac, in Montana.
It has come to pass many, many times that attributions of long ago are disproven. Life of the collector would be so much easier if all manufactering records were still available.
