Did anybody see this on ebay? They are original ledgers from the El Patio Club, and Austin Club Cicero Il, from 1936-1940s.
Both were infamous clubs that received a lot of attention during the Kefauver Committee hearings in 1950. The chips and dice from El Patio have been hard to find in the past. Some chips turned up recently, and there are a few on ebay right now.
I've offered to pay the seller to allow me to photograph or scan them, but he hasn't responded yet.
