Looks like a Hollywood Club $1.00 chip on the small Greek Key Mold to me.

Re: Hollywood Club...What the Heck is this??

Hollywood Club was an illegal casino operation in Toledo, Ohio in the late 20's or early 30's. Purported to have been run by the infamous Purple Gang (Detroit). There are two versions of the $1 chip. One with red inserts (edge spots) and one with black inserts.

Your chip appears in very nice condition, most are well worn and very dirty. Feels kind of light, right?

Re: Hollywood Club...What the Heck is this??

I did a little looking on the internet...actually found the Toledo club, but without pictures I couldn't be sure... I figured Jim or Roland would be around before too long to properly identify this chip.

Here's the other $1. There are other denoms also floating around

There's a second Toledo illegal called the Maumee club. There are plenty of those around as well.
