Title: Question about El Morocco Club Chip
Post by: Carl Kogut LM-7169-248 on Mar 02, 2025, 12:16 AM


Hi Folks:

I have a question about the $1 chip with red lettering and a pic of a zebra and dates. The ChipGuide shows the chip issued in 1964 (CG019668, TCR N6719) but the open/close dates in both the ChipGuide and TCR show Opened 1945/1955, Closed 1957/1958. Obviously something isn't right. Could it be that this chip was actually released when the *New* El Morocco Club was operating (1959-1964) but the chip left off the "New" part?  I also noticed that the same is true for the $5 chip, (CG040767, TCR N7559).

I posted this question on the ChipBoard but haven't received a response, so I decided to try here.  Sure hope someone will give me some insight as to what's going on.

Thanks for your help.

Carl
