WILBUR CLARK'S FRIEND


I recently sold one of these "unlisted" Christy &
Jones chips to a woman whose father was a very close
friend and business partner of Wilbur Clark
(non-casino related).

The woman's father is now 94-years old, and she
thought it would be a nice memento. In our long
conversation, she was reminiscent of how she would
peek-in to see the lounge shows as a very young girl
when she and her
father would stop by to visit Wilbur Clark.

Now here comes the sales pitch:

I'll be listing one or two of these chips at eBay
this weekend. I had originally purchased forty-six
of these Roulette chips from someone that used to
work at the casino many years ago, and I had since
sold about 36-chips.

As you can see, the chips are in excellent
condition, being almost unused.
