OK class, this course is an overview of the various types of Harley Davidson chips and tokens out there. There are at least a hundred Harley dealers in the US and around the world. The brand has embraced the poker chip as an advertising tool. Here are some of the variations I have found. First, there are several mold types used by dealers, though it seems most used the card suits mold. Those are being replaced by the Harley mold in some dealerships.
The chips are used to go along with local events, tours and dealer anniversaries.
There are also many generic Harley Davidson chip sets. One of my favorites is the Harley Girls set.
There are also other Harley designs on the chips, both with dealer names and basic poker sets.
Deadwood, South Dakota has had may slot tokens with Bikes since the turn of the millennium. Cadillac Jacks in Deadwood had a Harley 100th anniversary Chip in 2003.
There are a couple old school items like this Oscar Lenz token, from the 1920's, and several old advertising poker chips
There have also been gift chips from Las Vegas.
Now, as stated above this is only an introduction To Harley Davidson chip collecting. There are many more out there. As a home work assignment I would like the class to post other unusual Harley chips for all to see.
Dismissed!
