Northern Club?
In Response To: Collecting casino dice ()

Very interesting set of dice Peter. I've lost track of the link to a very nice article about Nevada gamblers that mentioned the Northern Club. At least Northern Club is my recollection. A gambler in the trubulent times after the civil war kept roaming the U.S., improving his fortunes until he was able to open his own establishments which he called the Northern Club. Northern because the first one was in Alaska I believe. Anyhoo, he eventually ended up in Nevada out around Tonapah with another Northern Club. To kind of give an era to this foggy story, one of the pit bosses in his employ was Wyatt Earp. All this pre-dated your dice and modern Nevada gaming I'm sure, but I'm sure curious about your Northern Club dice. Where is this NC located? Anybody got any good info related to my tale? I'll make a stab at locating what I read but don't expect much luck.
