Blue"Ky Club"silver filigree trade, sale, need red

I came into several of the scarce BLUE Kentucky Club, Covington, chips with the silver filigree. I need four of the chips in the more common red, and a yellow one. I can trade two blues for 4 reds. I would also like to trade a blue for a yellow. All good condition. Plus I have a few blues to sell (make an offer).

The price guide page, reproduced below, is from 1999. The prices are admittedly too high now, but I think are accurate for comparative purposes of the four colors of the Kentucky Club silver inlay, small key mold chips. Both sides are shown of the blue chips below, and the several I have are equally good. Return privileges.

The illegal club operated at 627 Scott St, Covington, Kentucky, from as early as 1943 until the mid 1950s. It was one of the largest clubs in Covington. "By the beginnings of World War II, gambling was wide open. During hot summer months the doors of the casinos stood open, concealing virtually nothing from the gaze of either the public or law enforcement. Here were no secret codes or names of friends to be dropped to gain admission. Anyone could enter a casino, customer tourist, or police officer."
