These beautiful chips are from the Torarica Casino in Suriname. What makes them special is the "C.J. J.K.". Cliff Jones, CJ, and Jacob Kozloff, JK, were front men for the mob who opened up many casinos in the Caribbean after Castro kicked the mob out of Cuba. Cliff Jones was a Las Vegas attorney involved with opening many of the classic Las Vegas casinos from the 1950's and became the Lt. Governor of Nevada before being forced out of office. Jacob Kozloff was the co-owner of the Last Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas. These chips were made in 1966 by H.C. Evans and all the chips in this new find are in new condition, they came in an original manufacturer's box. The red $1 chip is $10 and the black $5 chip is $25, $30 for the pair. There are only five of the $5 chips available. The chips are also available for trade.
