DESCRIPTION: Great new find. Never on eBay before. Noted in The Gaming Table and the manufacturer's (Taylor and Co, Chicago IL, of the T-mold fame) order-shipping record card, which is reproduced below. It shows that 1000 chips (no home game here; Roman numeral "M" = 1000) were sent to the Club (no further address needed) in Springfield, Illinois, in the 1940s. Pictured below is a matchbook cover from the illegal gambling venue, night club, strip joint and dining spot. Return privileges.

Miles Davis (1926 – 1991) the famous American jazz musician, trumpeter, bandleader, and composer, got his professional start at that Club.

John Wayne and Ward Bond in "Tall In the Saddle" (1944). In this movie Bond has the unusual role (for him) as the bad guy. I own this still too. This still is for sale, $15.00.
