~~~ especially when a new size is found in any previously known series or possibly existed as a known image without a mention of size where a possible assumption was made that what we thought was only in one size turns out to be it is a completely differnt size.

Seen below is the Portsmouth Casino Club page at ChipGuide which, clearly includes a short, detailed description of what the club entailed at one time in history during its duration... and, I have referred to this portion of the page several times since about mid-July of this yea, and while commenting I thought it to appear accurate as though it came from a publication which includes detailed descriptions of a casino space and how it was furnished with gaming tables (at the time of publication, of course) and in doing so, I was asked where exactly did this short, detailed description come from so, in order to help answered the question I went to Google search and typed in about six or seven first words and got a hit to a Giocities site showing the same exac description.

Now, my question and why I ask it:

Does anyone know if the bottom jeton with the Red Bunny is the same size as all the jetons in the series seen at the top? Thus far we have no idea of the center ieton size with a lunette because it is from a BG catalog dating back to pre-1990, somewhere... and, in studying the three examples on the page, I doubt the lunette jeton and the Red Bunny jeton are part of the top series, especially should anything on the page be a non-denominated Roulette chip as any other American-style clay composition chip, except in the French/European-stype,of,a plastic jeton or, possibly another game where a non-denominated chip/jeton might have been used

And now for the "why" part I ask about size and color pertaining to the bottom Portsmouth jeton...

About three weeks ago, since 1966, a 30 mm jeton pops up that has not been illustrated or mentioned anywhere within our hobby that I can find, anywhere.

At this point all my searching is being concentrated on what might have been unknown to us in London, on any of the different levels in the building; their diffenf rooms and their "VIP" rooms as well.

There are just too many non-denominated Roulette-type,jetons from Portsmouth and now from Lon as as well, for me to discount that somewhere in time, between 1966 and 1982, in both Portsmouth and London, that a form of American Roulette in the style of Frenxh/European tradition, for any reason, did not exist for as short,or long of a time, even if only at a trial introduction level, especially since there are no universal rules as to what chips can be used on a single 0 or double 00 wheel/table... and, even if there was a rule in the UK, how do we know if Playboy paid attention to it no matter how the games were being observed... and, please note that all I am referring to here are actual jetons and published documentation that if good enough to be included on ChipGuide, had to have been put there by someone who trusted that information to be accurate based on a possibly 0f overall accuracy in which the except came from originally and, that any portion of that description mentioning four (4) Roulette tables could have been during any time frame between opening and closing dates where any of the jetons from Portsmouth were used on any combination form of Roulette... and, yes, there is a possibility of any of the jetons being samples prototypes or in-shop trial... also, I take into consideration that there are two completely diffent type production methods on the 42 mm examples I know of and an unknown production method from Playboy. where two halves of jeton with rounded edges are bonded together to form one jeton which is known in the industry in South America and possibly in Europe as well.
