Hope you like.
The Capri Casino in Havana Cuba was one of the first casinos of Lansky & the Jewish Mafia of the 50's. Was an important casino and was in the center of the then downtown area where Lansky started to develop his 50's dream of Hotels & Casinos.
My complete Capri Collection took me about 4-5 years to complete, back when there were still a lot of chips in Cuba. This one, my extra collection took me almost a decade to complete, and it took me over two more years to find one roulette that I was only able to obtain last month!
So, this is the work of many, many years & a few bucks so hope you enjoy it.
The Capri opened early and had a lot of action during those years, as opposed to most of the rest of the 50's casinos which only were only open for a couple of years or none! The chips, therefore are difficult to find in the crispy new state that you see from other casinos.
If you have any questions about the chips, Capri, etc please feel free to e-mail me at tecnamar@aol.com.
Please be aware, I am out of town presently, so may be slow in responding.
I will sell the collection if somebody is really interested, but that was never the purpose, it was just more of a challenge for me.
Thank you for looking and enjoy the show.
