RARE Nevada gambling photo- must see!

Have you ever seen an old interior gambling picture from the 40's? This is rare history. After much searching & talking my friend & I came up with some great old photos's of the Cotton Club.
I also have a bar interior, dining shot or drinking shot, & Fremont Street parade float.
I am told the Cotton Club goes back to possibly the late 30's. I know for sure 44 but am doing more research. This was on the Westside, black area of town & the building is now gone.
I am going to have some of these reproduced.
I am wanting to know how many are interested. I am thinking a limited run of up to 20 of each. I want this to remain a rare photo. The negatives will not be given out so tons can be made.
I am thinking of just having 8 by 10's done but can do any size, even postcard size.
Email privately to discuss price.

I hope there is a lot of interest in this as this subject matter is very rare history & I have never been able to find any interiors of out famous old Westside clubs. It is hard to even find pictures of the smaller casinos on the strip.
As many might know Sammy Davis, Jr. & any black entertainers had to stay over here when their shows were done on the strip. Sammy used to play in here but I didn't get that picture but was told all about it. I met a dealer from the Cotton Club.
