Special offer to chip talk members.
In 1975 Casino Liban of Beirut Lebanon placed a special order with The Burt Company for edge spotted roulette checks. 1975 was the year that civil war broke out in Lebanon. The casino was forced to close, unable to take delivery of their chips. 37 years later, these chips still in new condition remain at our factory. These chips were made on the smooth seal and crest mold and are bright dayglo and unweighted colors. Chips from roulette table 1 are shown and tables 2 and 3 are also available. There were original 7 colors of 200 each and 2 colors of 100 each. All colors are now missing 1 chip. I will sell a single box of any color (99 chips) for $1.50 each chip ($148.50), or 5 boxes for $1.25 each chip, or take them all for $1.00 each chip. These chips would be great for roulette or poker.
Thanks

Yeah, and $1, $2 and $3 chips would be a pretty sweet little set...
199 x $1
199 x $2
199 x $3 = a pretty deep-stacked cash game, with $1200 on the table... that's $120 per person on a full table (no rebuys, though...  )

Put me down for a sample set also if they come available. My heart stopped when I saw them having such a close relation with the region.
Thanks
