The chips...
One group of chips...
(Orbit Inn, Stardust, Tropicana) The "Town Tavern" seemed to be a practice piece...the 2 side sez Harrah's Club Lake Tahoe, which is probably where it was really manufactured for
This group of dice was bought together....
First row: Joes Tavern, probably came from Hawthorne; Oasis...probably Searchlight; Oasis Club, Searchlight for sure
2nd row: 3 pairs from the Searchlight Casino (1944-1956 per Harvey Fuller)...notice that the spots are different sizes
3rd row: 2 singles from the Searchlight Casino, and a pair from the Searchlight Casino with concave spots (really unusual!)
4th row: Rainbow Club Henderson; Searchlight Nugget Casino...our source got this pair from a dealer at the Searchlight Nugget...BUT NOT the current Nugget. As the story goes, there was another Searchlight Nugget, before the current one opened. I haven't researched it yet.
Matches...
The ultra-cool slot glass
And the dice lamp (it was a dicey trip!! )
