"You sure proved that to a lot of us (the JSB chips and the Arrowhead)."
I don't mind admitting that I doubted your 1st information on the JSB chips. I could not believe there had been a 1st class operation in the area that I had not heard of. My 1st phone call to Frank "Chin" Conforti set me on the quest for more information when he said he had dealt craps at the Arrowhead in 1937.
Chin also dealt craps and sat box at Beverly off and on from 1936 thru 1955. I sent him a scan of Rich's chip.
The bad part about showing chips to people like Danny and Chin is they do not remember actual chips they worked with. I have showed chips to illegal owners that bought chips and many times they say "could be, but I can not say for sure."
Then again, many old timers will try to please you and tell you what you want to hear and many will tell you something and you will hear what you want to hear.
60-70 years is a long time!
