Yes. I should have mentioned T.R. King.
At the time I had only seen pictures, but later on saw the actual chips at antique shows and I was amazed how real they looked.
Robert Eisenstadt and I knew a gentleman (Mr Cohen) from New York who was a casino operator and was part owner of one of the more famous gambling ships in CA way back... I met him a couple times here in Florida when he was visiting another person who used to run games and during some conversations when chips came up he would rattle off a phone number telling us it was T.R. King's phone number. He was heavily involved with a couple of operations in Cuba... and one day he showed us some samples of chips that I have never seen before. He went by the name Mr Lucky, and I think his nephew used to run those Las Vegas night games year's ago, but where, I don't remember.
