World Famous Brass Elephant

Does anyone know the REAL location for this chip..?

I purchased the "World Famous Brass Elephant $5 Chip" several years ago along with the black $20 chip. The auction listed them as coming from a strip joint in Las Vegas. The chips are listed in TCR as #E3142 for the $5 and #E0085 for the $20.

A portion original auction reads as follows.....

".......These are 2 very rare chips from the Brass Elephant Topless Tittie Bar in Las Vegas. These were a tough chip to find the history of. They were originally thought to be from the Casino in California, but the mold and the chip are from the Gambler's General Store here in Las Vegas. The bar had these $5 & $20 chips made for their use. A patron could purchase these chips to use with the girls. The $5 chips were for drinks, and the $20 chips were for personal "lap" dances from the topless girls. This club closed a few years back, and noone had ever seen these chips surface before. They will be listed in next years price guide. I found less than 35 of the $20 chips and less than 50 of the $5 chips, so these are a really tough find. What a great addition to your chips collection, a REAL VALUE Las Vegas chip used at the other thing Las Vegas is famous for besides gambling---WOMEN AND BOOZE!!....."
