FOR SALE HUMBOLDT CASINO CHIPS

THIS IS FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION, IT IS PRETTY WELL COMPLETE WELL COMPLETE, MISSING THE TOKEN WHICH I MAY HAVE AND A ASHTRAY. I THINK I HAVE SOME POST CARDS TO AND MAYBE ANOTHER ASHTRAY, THE OTHER TYPE AS THERE WAS 2 TYPES.

I HAVE WELL OVER $600 IN THE LOT THANKS TO THE 2 TOKENS. I WOULD SAY PRETTY CLOSE TO $800, THANKS A LOT TOKENS.

ANYONE INTERESTED THE FIRST $400 GETS IT DELIVERED FOR FREE. ABOUT 1/2 OF WHAT I HAVE INVESTED IN THE LOT.

YOU COULD NOT EVEN BUY THE CHIPS AND THE DICE FOR THAT, IF YOU COULD EVEN EVER FIND THEM THAT IS.

PRICE IS FIRM, NOT TAKING OFFERS.

THIS IS FOR A COMPLETE SET OF 5 HUMBOLDT CASINO CHIPS, FROM THE HUMBOLDT CASINO THAT WAS LOCATED AT 313 BRIDGE STREET WINNEMUCCA, NEVADA, IT OPENED IN 1931 AND CLOSED IN 1976.

THE CASINO CHIPS ARE IN THE BEST CONDITION THAT I COULD FIND, PLEASE SEE SCAN FOR DETAILS AS IT IS A HIGH RESOLUTION SCAN AND SHOWS EVERYTHING. NOTHING TO HIDE HERE.
WHAT REALLY MAKES THIS LOT IS THE 2 TOKENS FROM THE 1930'S, ULTRA, ULTRA SCARCE.

NEITHER OF THESE IS PICTURED IN THE ONLINE MUSEUM OF GAMING HISTORY. ONE SAYS HOTEL HUMBOLDT WINNEMUCCA, NEVADA GOOD FOR 12 1/2 CENTS IN TRADE. THE OTHER SAYS HOTEL HUMBOLDT WINNEMUCCA, NEVADA GOOD FOR 5 CENTS IN TRADE. I DOUBT THAT YOU WILL EVER FIND EITHER OF THESE TOKENS FOR SALE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THEM FOR SALE.

THERE IS 2 DIFFERENT UNUSED MATCHBOOKS AND 2 USED MATCHBOOK COVERS. BASICALLY 3 DIFFERENT MATCHBOOKS AND ONE DUPLICATE.

I HAVE 2 PAIRS OF DICE, NOT PICTURED IN THE A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO CASINO DICE, BUT ASSURED BY THE AUTHOR JOHN BITTELL, THEY WILL BE IN THE 2024 EDITION.

I BOUGHT THESE DICE FROM JOHN AS HE IS THE ONLY PERSON I TRUST TO BUY DICE FROM, IF I BUY FROM SOMEONE ELSE I HAVE HIM LOOK AT THEM FIRST.

THE ONE PAIR OF DICE IS EXTREMELY RARE AS IT IS A MISPRINT. IT WAS STAMPED INCORRECTLY, ON ONE DICE ONLY IT IS STAMPED ON THE 2 SPOT, 3 SPOT AND 4 SPOT MAKING IT A ONE OF A KIND ULTRA SCARCE PAIR FOR SURE.

I ALSO BOUGHT AN ASHTRAY NOT PICTURED THAT ARRIVED CRACKED IN ONE CORNER, I SHOULD HAVE RETURNED IT BUT I DID NOT.
THAT WAS $40 DOWN THE DRAIN.

THE VALUE OF THE 5 CHIPS ALONE IS $225-$284, THE DICE WERE $100 FOR EACH PAIR, THE ASHTRAY WAS $40, BUT IT DOES HAVE A SMALL CHIP WHERE THE CIGARETTE GOES.
THE MATCHBOOK FOR ALL 5 WAS LIKE $50,THE TOKENS THAT IS WHERE THE MONEY IS, NOT SAYING WHAT I PAID FOR THEM OR NO ONE WOULD MAKE AN OFFER, SEARCH TOKENS, MOST OLD TOKENS ARE ANYWHERE FROM $40 TO $250 ON AVERAGE.

IF I DO HAVE THE TOKEN AND THE OTHER STYLE ASHTRAY I WILL INCLUDE THOSE AS WELL AS THE POST CARDS/POSTCARDS.

DO SOME MATH, THIS IS A GOOD DEAL, JUST THE $25 CHIP ON EBAY IS ANYWHERE FROM $69 TO $99.
