The El Rancho Vegas "Wilbur Clark" medals

Here are a couple of old promo or souvenir metals from the days of Wilbur Clark's association with El Rancho Vegas. The darker one I've had for ten years or so and is edge marked "sterling". The brighter one came from Doug Saito's auction this year and is the same design in aluminum. These are 2" in diameter and high-relief on Wilbur's side so they will spin on his nose grin .

I don't see these in the Nevada Promo Chips catalog so thought I'd show them here for those who collect such trinkets. I don't remember what I paid for the silver one but I believe the aluminum (trial strike?) sold for about $80.
