Weekend Finds at Kobey's San Diego

Found a few chips and other mementos waiting for me.

Figured ANYTHING mentioning Joe Mackie's Star in Winnemucca must be worth something!

Took a chance on the Harvey's 1980 Tunnel Walk button - the wheel design made me think, it's gotta be from Tahoe. And apparently it is - the font style of Harvey's matches that on the other odds and ends shown on the ChipGuide. What I don't know is - was the Tunnel Walk before, after, or during the time the Big Bomb was inside Harvey's? Oh, no - if the bomb was in there, it would have been a Tunnel Run, for sure. Outta the way, Roger Bannister!

The blank light blue dragon mold chip appears to be an Error Chip, found among a box full of hot-stamped Barona Casino 1 Tokens, same mold and color. No reason a vendor would have gone through the trouble of trying to track down a blank blue dragon mold chip just to stick in there.

Digby Pines is from Nova La Scotia.
