Hello all, I'd like to trade or buy roulette table chips of the old (1928-35), opulent Agua Caliente Hotel and Casino, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. If you don't have any, maybe you can refer me to those who do. Thanks.

The chips have a superimposed "AC" and the roulette table number on them. See the picture below from the US Playing Card Co records (USPC manufactured and distributed the chips).

I could also trade the wonderful (and rare) JC and BL chips, above. The USPC records show that both chips were shipped on May 22, 1928 to the Baja California Co., Tijuana, which was owned by the "Border Barons." (The "Border Barons" were the three men who built, owned and ran Agua Caliente and lesser gambling establishments along the California-Mexican border in the 1920's-30's. Two of them were James Crofton ("JC" chip) and Baron Long ("BL" chip)). Prof. Paul Vanderwood, the author of "Satan's Playground: Mobsters and Movie-stars at America's Greatest Gaming Resort [Agua Caliente]," has written me and confirmed that the JC- and BL-initial chips were personal chips of the two Border Barons. He says, "On the chips, "JC" is most definitely the baron, James Crofton, who was in charge of the casino operation at the spa. "BL" was Baron Long, also one of the entrepreneurs. .. .... Both men were vain promoters beyond belief. And they did hold big stake, poker games for friends and others in their homes. Or, as I said, they organized and clandestinely staged illegal games on the U.S. side ... ." (The book is available at Amazon.com.)

I could also trade the key fob pictured below. I am in the market for high-denomination Agua Caliente casino chips missing from my personal collection.
