For sale are two Cuban chips believed to have been used at the American Club (or Club Americano) in Havana, Cuba, in the mids 20's, at the peak of Cuban gambling scene. These appeared to have been made by the USPC as many of the chips from that era were.
These chips are part of a set of only 4 colors known, see my collection chips. However, two types of these chips were found. The ones with the regular outer ring same as the others (white) and the very rare ones with the outer ring dark beige. See my collection where in the left the chips with white ring are shown and in the right the chips with the rare cream are shown. Above is the regular green. Only a small number of these greens have been found.
All of these types of chips have disappeared from the market for quite some time and remain quite rare. The green and to a lesser extent the red can be counted with the fingers of one hand and the red with beige variation I am only aware of two in existance. Less than ten blue and beige with beige variation are accounted for.
This is a rare opportunity. I am only selling these because I am trying to help a non-profit org. dear to my heart. If they do not sell, as I have already donated them, I will buy them back at this price. Please be aware that special instructions for paypal payment are needed for the lucky buyer.
The blue with the beige variation is/was the only extra I have ever been able to find and one of the very few I have ever seen. If you do not collect Cuba this may still be a very good investment opportunity for when Cuba opens and the catalog comes out. Both of them at these prices are a great opportunity.
The Blue with beige variation is US$69.00 shipping included
The beige with regular white variation is $47.00 shipping included.
Do not let these prices scare you, they are really worth a lot more.
