There is a group of chips used in illegal USA casinos that were taken to Cuba to be use at small casinos or at the 3 Dealer's Schools. By now the majority of these chips are well know and well established. Most of those casinos belonged to Lansky and or the Jewish mafia, but there were a few that belonged to somebody else, particularly before the 50's.
Some of these casinos, we had them with a question mark, but by now it has been FULLY DETERMINED, that they were never used there. These include the two types of chips that I am requesting help for ID. These two types of chips were initially believed to come from Cuba, but later records and with much research, we have found that they were not used in Cuba and in fact were never found in Cuba.
I am using this to find out origin, but also to establish this fact, in case you are offered them as being part of Cuba heritage. If you did buy them, do not feel bad, I did too!
I have a couple of sets of each but now have no idea where they are from. Would truly appreciate any help!!
