Tan $1.00 chip from the Dickinson Social Club. It has $1.00 on one side and "EE" on the other side. The squares-in-circle mold with hot-stamped lettering is charactistic of many of the illegal Galveston clubs of the 1940s and 1950s. It is in very good condition. The "EE" stands for the Emmite brothers, Sam and Carlos, who operated the Dickinson Social Club. It was also known as the D and S. The gambling club was located on Farm to Market Road 417 in Dickinson, Texas, a part of Galveston County on the "mainland." Partners in the club were Vic and Anthony Fertitta and the Salvato brothers, Joe, Pete and Mike.
