Thanks for the link, however I have already found it and Robert gave me a good buy on Two Brown Frolics Chips. He is a great person to deal with and seems to have a lot of knowledge on the illegal chip market.

I was wondering if any other Frolics chips have been found, and if anyone else has any in their collection ?

Thanks: Fred

Well, Roberts auction and website certainly contain a wealth of information. The auction shows the Taylor Company order card and Robert's website references 2 other denominations. I guess it is always possible that there is a forth or more color out there, but I suspect that Robert would have pointed that ditection.

However, if a T mold (the real "T" mold) was all they used, then I'd suggest looking into the T mold records. They are on-line at: Preserving Gaming History

It is a .pdf fille (acrobat) but look to see if Frolics ordered other colors.

GL and let us know if you learn anything more.

The 5 is listed on page 21 of the pdf file and shows an order of 100 chocolate. If im reading it right there was an order on 5/8/58 and 5/8/68?
