ONENEVADADOLLAR IS PLEASED TO OFFER AGAIN, WE HAVE ONLY A DOZEN OR SO LEFT, WHAT WE CONSIDER A UNIQUE, ONE OF A KIND, “FLOOR SWEEPING” CHIP.THESE ARE THE LAST EIGHT I HAVE!
THESE CHIPS ARE WHAT REMAINS OF THE B.C. WILLS COMPANY. THEY ARE NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. THEY HAD OFFICES IN DETROIT, RENO AND LAS VEGAS. THEY MANUFACTURED CASINO EQUIPMENT AND MADE CHIPS FOR CASINOS, LEGAL AND OTHERWISE. THE PURCHASERS OF THE COMPANY’S BUILDING HAVE DESTROYED THE RECORDS WHERE B. C WILLS EXISTED. THE COMPANY WENT OUT OF EXISTENCE IN THE 1970’S.
THERE WERE 47 CHIPS IN THE COLLECTION THAT WE PURCHASED. EACH A DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT “FLOOR SWEEPING” CHIP FROM THE OTHER.
DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS THESE CHIPS WERE USED TO TEST DIES AND COLORS. THEY WERE MEANT TO BE TOSSED AWAY BUT WERE TAKEN, APPARENTLY BY EMPLOYEES FOR HOME USE?
THEY ARE LARGE KEY
THEY ARE ALL IN “NEW” CONDITION HAVING OBVIOUSLY NEVER MADE IT TO THE CASINO FLOOR.
MANY OF THE CHIPS HAVE MORE THAN ONE CASINO STAMPED ON THEM.
MANY HAVE MULTIPLE STAMPINGS FROM THE SAME CASINO.
MANY HAVE MULTIPLE DENOMINATIONS FROM THE MULTIPLE CASINO’S STAMPED ON THEM.
SOME ARE BLANK ON ONE SIDE.
THE VALUE OF THESE CHIPS MUST PURELY BE IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER. THERE IS NO LISTING FOR THEM IN ANY CHIP BOOK NOR WILL THERE EVER BE. THEY ARE UNIQUE IN THE HISTORY OF NEVADA CHIP PRODUCTION.
WHEN WE HAVE SOLD THESE CHIPS THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER FIND LIKE THESE.
