I'm saving all your posts on the subject and coping the scans to file. I happen to be a way gone Nevada Club enthusiast. I'm just now looking around my desk and I spy a $$$ Diamond Jim's quarter, a suspect Nevada Club Nevada mold and chips from Nevada Club Hawthorne and Crystal Bay as well as a stack of post cards of those two sisters playing the slots at Nevada Club LV back in 1959. Out on the mantle, got a box of 50 NV. Club matches. Just got taken early on in collecting with the name and pursue items from any NC from anywhere...at a leisurley pace, mind you. Many different chips and many different styles and molds.
Not hard to track Lincoln Fitzgerald's clubs up north and many interesting aspects of that operation but haven't spent much time looking at the Fremont street joint. Thanks so much for the presentation today. Lots of puzzling little features to the chips from these places. Of course, you've pointed out the Lucky Nevada Club question but there were also the serial numbered HHL chips and the mysterious black-painted edge Free Play chips that I show here. I've run across a satisfactory explaination on those.
At any rate, thanks again for the enhancement of my enjoyment in this area with your research. Exploration (and folks like YOU) are a big part of what makes this hobby so much fun!
