Casino Municipal de Nice (offer to sell)

There are no other denomination plaques known from this series (no jetons, either).

The monogram on the reverse tells us it's early-1900. This type manufacture (ceramic) is unknown to me in any other caming jeton or plaque, and is a similar composition-type as is a current Chipco Int'l. piece -- except this piece is made in two stages (parts): where the inner plate is housed and joined with the outer frame. The base colors of both the inner plate and the outer frame are solid.

Ten examples of this piece were found in Paris about six or seven years ago. The shopkeeper informed me of the find and I purchased the lot. I've since placed four pieces into collections.

I'm offering one example (the one seen below) which is in its original state of preservation.

Price: $1.100.00
