H.C. Evans "Miniature" Casino Chips

A question was asked about these miniature H.C. Evans chips a few days ago. I located this piece printed in an old H.C. Evans catalog:

"MINIATURE CASINO CHECKS"

For use with the Miniature Casino Games we recommend the use of small checks, 1-1/4 inches in diameter as being the most practical check for the purpose.

T.R. King also mentions the same size chip (King's Small Size Composition Chips) as being the size of a half dollar.

Though I've never seen (other than samples) this size chip attributed (100%) to a casino, there is on display at Whitehall (Flagler's home) Palm Beach, the wheel, table and these small-size chips (Initial Inlaid) with a "B" from Bradley's Beach Club; 1898-1946 -- which are nothing but generics, I would think.

I believe Bradley requested that everthing from his club be destroyed when he dies (but we've all heard about destruction orders, before. grin)
