What we've been trying to do for the past 8-10 years is figure out when the original casino (my 5/- jeton) which was named for the street it was in ('Royal' Terrace), as 'Royal' Chimes Casino, changed the spelling to 'Royale' Chimes Casino on their chips and other items from the casino since the spelling with and without the 'e' is found in all sorts of combinations from newspaper articles to what we assume might be official documentation... Thus, the match box is a great help since it contains more information than what we knew, previously.
My jeton, which came from a family relative of Babe Ruth, here in Palm Beach County (who Michael Richter and I knew in the antiques business) is the only one known anywhere we have searched thus far.
