I have two #2 Small Crown Roulettes from the Thunderbird - shown below. The Fuschia one I got from Doug Saito for $10 on Aug. 8, 1998. The Pink one I got from Jerry O'Neal on Nov. 7, 2003. I have NOT added any others to my collection since. I have never seen a #3 Small Crown Roulette from the Thunderbird and don't know if they actually existed. Also there are Small Key Roulettes from the Thunderbird but I only have chips from table 2 and 3 and NONE from Table #1 ?? I don't think I have any duplicates of these Small Crown chips in stock - but I will look and see and let you know.
It has been my observation over the years that certain Roulette chips with low values from $3 to $10 that you would think would be readily available - just do NOT exist. There are probably 100s and 100s of Roulette chips with a book value of less than $10 that NO body has in their collections. If you had $10,000 to spend and you went to every table at the Convention you could NOT find these chips for sale at any price. This is just the way it is. Some Roulette chips survived over the years and some did not. This is true of even very modern Roulettes that were in play only a couple of years ago.
Good luck in your quest to find these chips - but unfortunately they may be gone forever !!
Take care,
Jerry
