****Heart & Box**** mold, no denomination,"The Forest Club" chip.
The gambling club was located on Hwy-15 in Richland Parish, 15-miles southeast of Monroe, LA,. The Forest was built in the early 1940's, and closed in the mid-'70's after a series of raids. During the 1960's, "Buddy" Nugent brought everlasting fame to the club when he opened a high-stakes game of poker. Other games of chance that the club offered were 1-black jack and 2-crap games. The poker tuffs that dominated the club's high-stakes game were; "Blondie" Forbes, Murph Harrold, and "Sarge"Ferris, and those 3-players would go on to mortal glory in "The Poker Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. Alhough more often than not, Nugent held his own against them.
