On April 9, 1968, almost nine years after the Aruba Caribbean opened, Aruba's second resort and casino opened, also on Palm Beach in Noord, at 79 JE Irausquin Blvd. The Aruba-Sheraton opened with the Aruba-Sheraton Casino inside. The resort is right next door to the Aruba Caribbean.

Strangely, the h&c mold chips come in two conditions, with full clear, shiny hot stamp and no hot stamp at all (even if the condition of the chip is very good). I have never seen a chip in an intermediate condition. I am including both varieties:

Here's some more stuff:
