There are 2 major places in Texas to search for collectibles of all kinds. One is Canton Texas that has a gathering every month and the cities of Warrenton - Round Top - Shelby ( Cities are only a few miles apart ) that have 2 gatherings a year April & October. I was able to make one day at Warrenton and I found some casino collectibles and all at same booth.
I looked through a banana box ( about 30"L X 18"W X 12"H ) full of swizzle sticks and was able to pull out 100 from Las Vegas with 15 from Thunderbird. I paid 10 cents each.
I found a few Small Key Mold chips with " TEXAS " hot stamped on them. I am not familiar with these so if anyone knows if these are Illegal chips and where from let me know as I do not collect illegals.
I also picked up 49 postcards and misc. with many duplicates ( several Thunderbird ) Paid 15 cents each
Picked up three match covers ( I know 2 of them are from illegal gambling site in Galveston and the other I got because they were 3 for a dollar and I needed a filler.
Not much Casino stuff in Texas like there is in Nevada and California, but had fun all the same. Could use some help in identifying location of those chips unless they are from a generic set.
