I recently purchased 100 of these chips & was curious to find out any available information about them. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Are these supposed to be from "Rounders"? I don't remeber any looking like that.

The original CC club chips were from an illegal club in Mich, "I think". The owner went to Reno and started a legit hotel and Casino, if there was such a thing as legit in those days. "IF" i'm right the original chips were more tan in color then the pic of the ones that you show.

http://www.chipster.net/TradeList.htmThat lists a Chesterfield Club in Detroit, MI with a "CC" logo, so it could be these. http://www.chipster.net/michex.htm

If those are Crest & Seal chips then those would appear to be they. The TR King box kind of throws in a bit of confusion and the picture does not appear to depict any detail from the chip mold.

"These are interesting chips in that they were also used as the non-denominational $1 chip at the Nevada Club/Nevada Lodge in Lake Tahoe.

These are Crest & Seal chips that originated at Detroit's Chesterfield Club in the 1930s. Lincoln Fitzgeral, the club's owner, left Michigan for Nevada in the late 1940s and took these chips with him. Rumor has it that the Chesterfield Club was named for his favorite cigarettes.

Fitzgerald used these chips at Tahoe's (Crystal Bay) Nevada Lodge after moving west as the house $1 chip."

Thanks for the quote and thread reference. These are really cool looking chips with a fascinating history and I'd be happy to trade with anybody interested in obtaining one.
