Weekend Finds at Kobey's San Diego

Double-header this weekend - Kobey's on Saturday, Long Beach Flea Market on Sunday.

First - Kobey's

The Luxor Mummy-Crypt Opener is not yet on ChipGuide. A couple of chips, and some slot tokens as well. Note that the Chinook Winds Grand Opening Token is slightly marred by what appears to be an acid test stripe. Take note, collectors, golden-colored slot tokens are NOT made of real gold. Fort Wayne Moose 200 appears to be a closed lodge, but I found mention of it in 1918-era newspaper archives:

I don't know if they played cards ivery Tuesday.

Funny story about the Carnival Cruise winner's medallion: I saw it earlier in the day but figured the seller would want a lot for it. Wandered around for an hour, came back . . . to find the seller had packed up everything and was about to leave. But - spotted that red-white-blue ribbon atop a box, pulled it out and asked what the price was. Seller just shrugged and said, "Gimme a dollar." Done!

The other objects, gotten free from another vendor who decided to give away all his wares at the end of the swap, when assembled carefully, make a Taliban Parking Meter.
