Re: Golden Horseshoe Club

Was not in Newport.
It was in Covington close to the old Triangle Paper Bag factory about 13th street and Madison ave.
It had a race and sports book for years and was the home away from home for many area cab drivers. My father in law and his brother practically lived in the place. grin
I have said this before and will repeat it one more time. The Golden Horseshoe never had table games nor chips.

"Newport Police man, a box of chips was found in his possessions"

This story has been repeated many times by collectors about various chips they try to attribute to N KY. grin

Same story was said about the CC in Horseshoe as Copa Club, Newport until we finally got the record card that put it in the Trianon Ball Room, Terra Haute, In, delivered to a long time Terra Haught illegal operator, with a long arrest record.

Same story told about the RBP S key that someone made up a name to match the initials. The only problem was the joint never existed. grin

Now when you find that cop's estate with a box (s) of chips hourglass mold GBH on them, they are mine and the cops name will be Jerry Early (dead now). grin He snatched them from a game in that little house behind Larry's museum. After he kicked the door down, he told me his warrent was on the bottom of his shoe. grin
Finally a story about chips and cops that is true!!! grin

Chips and history, I love it. grin
Without the history they are only little pieces of clay.
