If the these three ietons are determined to be Roulettes, I see three weels of the four known; black wheel, red wheel and lunette wheel which, if is the caes; there is a fourth "style" we are not aware of.
Now, during my episodes in trying to prevent a heart attack every time I visited the auction, and CG in comparing the graphics on the Londo Club with the three jetons in in Portsmoutn, I noticed the red bunny first, while the other two were black and after I confirmed with the seller that the 30 mm was indeed 30 mm and not 40 mm as were the other two, I was kind of convinced I was looking at thee jefons from three different wheels and still, I had a bit of the same thought that was running through our mind...
Do we have three jetons from three different wheels?
Granted, the 30 mm, 2-piece laminate is something we have not yet seen from any Playboy but, we have yet to see everything and, we do know that 2-piece laminates existed in South American casinos and also as transportation tokens so, it's not all that strange to finally see something from playboy not previously known to us, especially from a wheel in a joint nmost of us have never been, before... Maybe something like mini roulette that we see from South America witn those 18" wheels and maybe something Victor thought about in the early days with probably thinking if it works there, why not in my house... and, on top of all this, how many rooms have we actually seen pictures of with wheels..?
There is so much we don't know and, sadly, some of those who worked in the 60's are either gone of worse and the only thing we could hope to find are photos but, how long can we keep looking at the same stuff year after year where nothing changes and reading the same stories, too.
