Blue, crest and seal roulette chip from the New Southport Club of New Orleans, Louisiana. This blue is a rare color for these chips. This chip is in good condition. 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. 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. |
