Today's finds...


A little bit of everything. A decent Dunes chip along with the normal type of stuff. Room key, money clip.
The Match cover and bottom 3 chips came from the same seller. He said he grew up in Reno. He claims the 2 chips (yellow/red) and the match cover are from the same place. (I have no idea) He seemed to know a lot of history about the place.
That Murray's was in front of the Black Out and Harrah ran the Black Out. They operated at the same time. You had to walk through Murray's to get into the Black Out. Murray's owed the building and told Harrah to leave. All the customers were walking through to get to the Black Out and not doing business with Murray's. That is when Harrah opened Harrah's. Murray's keeps the Black Out name after Harrah leaves. They had a bitter battle and eventually Harrah forced Murray's to close and Murray ended up working for Harrah???
I have no idea....just repeating the story in case someone knows anything?
