~~~ by Historians, collectors, authors, casino owners throughout France who I have been engaged in business with for over 30-years along with their sons and daughters and employees and a few other casino owners where each of them who have been instrumental in adding on to my collection since Sept. 1993 with what they have been able to find after destruction... and merchants in Nice, Paris and several other French cities who make it their living finding such rare material; the sons and daughters of once well-known gamblers in France... along with being unfound in production remnant inventories by certain manufacturers known where such material has surfaced in years past... kind of makes this piece virtually unknown for as long as it has been broadcast on the Internet... and so far still unknown... and, the construction of the cut corner being lower and not upper adds to the rarity of this piece with virtually no other casino plaque of its shape known, anywhere (a few generic C de F cuts are known though, not known from a casino)...
