(1) Just letting you know that what was agreed to a few weeks ago is true: packages with Delivery Confirmation (called USPS Tracking now) are supposed to be scanned in by the postman with the little computer he carries on him WHEN HE DEPOSITS THE PARCEL IN YOUR MAIL BOX, but apparently, it is often done at the post office building for convenience/"efficiency."

I ordered 20 Kentucky Club chips (see (2) below) for over $200. It was sent with insurance and tracking. My home computer showed it as delivered at the 250-unit doorman building where I live Monday Jan 27th. But it wasn't there. I wondered, did the postman steal it, did the doorman steal it, did a tenant or someone else take it from the doorman's station, was it put in the wrong mail box, or was it lost by the post office people along the way? Anyway, it arrived today, Sat, Feb 1st. Yea!

You may buy one or both chips. Both sides shown. Blue chip, $35. White chip, $15. Postage $3. These chip prices are less than that of completed sales and offerings on eBay. Return privileges. PayPal OK.

The chips have an unusual die-cut silver filigree inlay. Small key mold. Very fine condition.

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."
