Re: Saratoga N. Y. Meyer Lansky Story

Hi Steve, Thats Great. I had the opportunity to speak with a gentleman last weekend from up there that had purchased all of the Roulette Wheels / Tables and Chips that were removed from Riley's Lake House before it got raided in the 50's. Very interesting story on how he got them. I was able to get a fantastic collection of roulette chips that I have never been seen before that he had left. I did not get a chance to post them to the chip guide yet. He sold everything else back in 1970. There were a total of 7 roulette wheels and tables that were stored in crates. He said they were beautiful. We plan on taking a trip up there ourselves to tour the area and meet with him one weekend after the holiday. He also knows a gentleman that is in his 90's that was associated with Canfield Casino and The Arrowhead inn. None of the chips have shown up from either of these two places and He thinks this gentlemen may know where they are. He indicated introducing me to him when we go up there.

On another front I have been doing a lot researching on the Ross Fenton Farm in New Jersey. Lots to talk about that place as well. There are a couple Historians in Ocean County that I will be contacting in January. Have a great Holiday and give me a ring after Christmas. I never made it to the Rivera Walk that Saturday ran out of time, but I also have a name of a fellow there who has a mountain of knowledge.
