CREST & SEAL CHIP, GREEN MILL INN, LA
Crest and seal gambling chips are some of the most sought after and desired pieces in gambling chip collectibles. This crest and seal chip is from the Green Mill Inn of Arabi, Louisiana. Crest and seals from the Green Mill are highly collectible because of their mystic quality and unexcelled craftsmanship. The Green Mill Inn was one of the earliest illegal casinos near New Orleans in the Roaring '20s. It was located at Angela and St. Claude Street in Arabi, just east of New Orleans' downtown, and across the Mississippi River ship channel from Algiers on the West Bank. It was operated by Mr. Greco. An old catalog from an early gambling supplier and manufacturer, Noll and Company, displays a picture of the Green Mill Inn "Seal and Crest Check" as an example of their high-grade, non-duplicate club check line. Victim of a late night blaze, the Green Mill Inn burned to the ground in 1927, but a few of these pieces escaped the historical fire and are available on a very limited basis. This chip is in excellent, near-mint condition. It is 1-1/2 inches in diameter.

CREST & SEAL CHIP, CHOCTAW CLUB
This crest and seal chip is from the Choctaw Club of Louisiana. Gaming counters from the Choctaw Club are some of the finest examples of crest and seal chips ever produced. These classic chips were most likely manufactured by the U.S. Playing Card Company in the late 1920s to 1930s. The Choctaw Club was located at 518 St. Charles Avenue and North Street on Lafayette Square in New Orleans. The building which housed the Club was erected in 1841. About 1930, the same time as the chips would have been ordered, the Regular Democratic Organization established their headquarters at the Choctaw Club. Both influential and powerful, the "Old Regulars," as they came to be known, dominated and dictated Crescent City and Louisiana politics from the Choctaw for decades. In 1973 the elaborate, iron-grilled balconies and facade of the club were removed and the building was torn down. This chip has been used but is in very good condition. It has a couple of small nicks on one side and use marks.
