Yellow $50 chip from the O'Dwyer's Club from outside New Orleans, Louisiana. The chip measures 1.55 inches in diameter. The chip is in very good condition but has been used and needs cleaning. George and Rudy O'Dwyer ran the illegal O'Dwyer's casino and nightclub just a few steps outside of the city limits of New Orleans in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. (Counties in Louisiana are called parishes.) These gaming chips, thought to be from the 1930s - 1940s are rare in that they have a machined surface grooved inlay that feels much like a small phonograph record. These illegal club chips tell a story of Dixieland jazz and the southern hospitality of New Orleans, mother of Mississippi riverboat gambling in the U.S. This is one of the most famous of the illegal gambling establishments in the United States. |
