In Response To: MYSTERY CHIP OF THE DAY ()

William Thomas
3 different orders
1321 17th st
Rock Island, Il

One order Thomas had shipped to a Don McClure in Terra Haute, In. I have seen that name on other orders, need to search.
6,300 chips denoms up to $500. Had to be a big illegal. No dates on the order cards but I would guess it was towards the end of the Mason era. Maybe 1960's. Order had a zip code on it. Not sure when zip codes came into being.

If you have a trader, I will look into it.
