The nickel inlaid chip used at the several clubs in Gardena Calif are something special for any collector of California chips, or of inlaid fractionals of any kind. T.R. King made the majority of the chips for these casinos and all the 5 centers I have in my collection. Thought I'd show them here for those who might not be familiar with this early history of card rooms in CA, and as I'm selling the chips from that collection, offer them here at a discount. The prices marked is what the will start at in the auction. If anyone on this BB would like one or more, I'll discount them 10%. Shipping is $2 for any one or all of them.
Both sides of each chip are shown, although the Normandie "knife and fork" chip is the only one with a different design on each side. I think all the clubs except Normanie are closed now, but even they went to a hot-stamp nickel chip long ago.
