Any Gamblers out there ????

The chip collecting Hobby often times is a "Gamble", but that is part of the fun of this Hobby. This is a good example of a chip collecting "Gamble". The chips shown below with the P 1 C and the P 2 C could be from anywhere since they are only marked with a couple of letters and a #. However, let's look at these chips and compare them to other known chips. The G 1 N and G 2 N chips shown in the scan below are roulette chips that were used at the Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas in the 1950's. One of the neighboring Casinos on Fremont Street in the 1950's near the Golden Nugget was the famous Pioneer Club. Pioneer Club initials are P C. Both the P C and the G N chips are H Mold chips. The style of the letters and #'s on the chips are exactly the same. The colors of the chips are also very similar. Both Casinos used other H Mold chips. Could these P C chips be from the Pioneer Club ??? That's where the "Gamble" comes in. I have shown these chips to the Authors of the two best known Chip Guides on Nevada chips and their comments were "very interesting" and " I bet they are (from the Pioneer)". I am not sure if these chips are from the Pioneer or not, but they very well could be. If you want to take a "Gamble" on these chips being from the Pioneer then send me $70.00 and I will send you a set of the four chips shown. I only have seven of the 4 piece sets for sale. If you only want one of the chips, I have some extras of the #1 - white and green and the #2 white chips available at $20.00 each. All of the chips are in Average condition. All prices include shipping. If you want to "Gamble" on these chips being from the Pioneer or if you just like the chips and don't care where there from, please email me and order a set or a single chip for your collection. I have a total of about 70 of these P C chips available for sale in average condition, BUT ONLY 7 of the Green P 2 C chips.
Till later,
