This $.25 denomination, crest and seal chip was from the Old Southport Club which was located at River Road and Protection levee in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. This chip measures 1-5/8 inches in diameter and has a green outer band, red inner band and beige inlay center. It is in good condition but there is some wearing away of the red circle. The Old Southport Club was originally named Hyland's Southport Inn when owned by Joe Hyland, one of Louisiana's gambling pioneers. The name was later changed to the Southport Club and sold to the O'Dwyers.
