for sale Florida Illegal Chips for sale

The Riveria heart/rectangle $1, $5 and mustard roulette chips for sale $80.00 postage paid. All 3 of these chips are in very good condition with sharp edges.

I worked with a man who provided me the $1 and $5 chips. He recounted to me that when he was age 12 (1948) his father took him to the bust-out joint "The Riviera" Club on Fisher Island (Today I think it's called West Palm Beach, Florida) to watch the police chop up the gaming equipment confiscated in a raid on the Club. His father was a waiter/dealer at this establishment whose registered owner was Charlie Schwartz. Schwartz worked for Meyer Lansky and operated illegal casinos for him in Atlantic City also. My co-worker's father, who worked in bust-out joints in New Jersey and Florida, knew the boss wouldn't give him cash for the tips he received so he walked with the chips at the end of the night's play. "The Riviera" chips may have also been used in the northern New Jersey bust-out joint bearing the same name but there has not been a definite attribution.

I have only one set of these 3 chips for $80.00 postage paid. I have sets of the $1 and $5 chips in the same condition mentioned above for $70.00 postage.

Your satisfaction is guaranteed. Thank you for looking!! Chuck T.
