A couple of days ago there was a thread about Harold's Roulettes from Reno - H.C.E. Mold with H (# in a Hexagon) C chips.
Shown below are the Harold's Roulettes I have in my collection arranged in numerical order both the Original chips and the "Over-stamped" ones from a ladies Club somewhere in Illinois.
The "Over stamped" ones are done by color - the Lavender, Orange and Green Chips are Over-stamped with a Black 5, the Red chips are stamped with a Black 25 and the Navy Blue chips are stamped with a White 100.
There are also a couple of oddities - I have a Red chip that is stamped with a White 25 and I also have an Orange #8 that is on a Hat & Cane Mold.
The chips I have are numbered- 1, 2,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11,12, 13, 14, 71 and 101. No # 8 or 9 (except the #8 H&C Mold)
They certainly used a weird numbering system as we know the did NOT have a total of 71 or 101 tables in use at this Casino.
Also these chips come in a wide range of colors which may have been re-orders of some type since some of the colors are very close - a slightly different shade of the same basic color. My scan colors are pretty accurate.
I don't know where the "over stamped" chips should be listed in the Chip Guide ?? I don't think under Harold's Club Reno since they were NOT over stamped for use at Harold's Club - maybe UFC or Illinois Illegals Fraternal Club or what ????
If anyone else knows anything about this interesting Series of Roulette chips that got "a Second Life" - please LMK.
Take care,
"Mr. Roulette"
