Sunday Finds at Long Beach Swap Meet

More tables loaded down with costume jewelry and junk. Where does it all come from?!!

First item spotted, after walking a long time, was the Eiffel Tower key ring, turned so that the Tower was side-up. Could it be??? Turned it over and, yep, from Paris Casino. Score! Eventually I found a room key fob from John Ascauga's Nugget, key for Room 701 is marked Do Not Duplicate, so it's the real thing. A few chips, a few more slot tokens (just bought a few I didn't yet have - many more at one or two vendors' tables) - and three chips that seemed good. And a San Manuel LUCK AMERICAN STYLE 2004 anniversary token. Very hard to come by - one has to visit the casino on its anniversary celebration day, be a member, amass a high quantity of points on the player's card, visit a kiosk and print out an offer for one, go somewhere else to exchange for a medallion and hope they still have some - issued in limited quantities of 100 or 200 I think.

No French jetons or plaques. I never spot any such things at swap meets down here.
