A short while ago, Oscar posted this same screen-shot from an eBay sale of what is purported to be a Moulin Rouge roulette chip.
Having just put in a Moulin Rouge tribute Exhibit at the Neon Museum, I would have been hard pressed to not be after this chip for the Exhibit. We know that the Moulin Rouge had roulette tables, and, as pointed out by Oscar, the 'Rouge' also had rack chips in the small greek key mold.
In looking at this chip (at the eBay "sold" listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-MOULIN-ROUGE-HOTEL-Blue-1-Chip-/254904335396?hash=item3b597b7c24%3Ag%3AzTMAAOSwquxgUAvD&nma=true&si=19MYElsPXd41MKgX06ixZIfeRws%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 ) the forth image provided looks to be a rather old chip (see how the outer edge (the rolling edge) is concave).
So, I am asking for additional comments about this chip.
Thanks,
Jim
