| This is a complete set of 10 crest and seal clay roulette chips in 10 different colors: orange, black, white, gray, red, green, blue, pink, light blue, and brown. These multiple-color, crest and seal chips have a design and workmanship of the finest order and quality seen in gaming counters of that era. I don't believe there are many sets of 10 in existence, other than the few I have and maybe 6 other sets. This is a rare and major collection in itself. The New Southport Club was located in Jefferson Parish, just outside the city limits of New Orleans, off the Mississippi River Road at 1300 Monticello Street. Owned by Carlos Marcello, who the Times-Picayune newspaper called "the purported organized crime king of New Orleans," the New Southport Club was a lavish illegal casino and night spot famous in the 1930s to the 1950s. |
