This chip is a blue, 18-star mold roulette chip from the Original Club Forest Club of New Orleans, Louisiana. The Original Club Forest chip is rare and a uniquely collectible gaming counter. Inlaid with the club's address plainly displayed in crest and seal fashion, the outside edge sports a circular mold of 18 encused stars. Named the LA1812 mold in Gaming Times magazine (April 1998), the 18 stars are thought to symbolize Lousiana (LA) as the 18th state to enter the Union in the year 1812. This chip is in used condition and has a few nicks around the edges. Manufacturer of this "non-duplicate" chip is purported to be Jones Brothers, 117 N. Hennessey St., New Orleans 19, La. These chips were used by George and Rudy O'Dwyer who ran the Original Club Forest at 407 E. Jefferson Highway during the heyday of illegal New Orleans gambling. Advertising for the club was done openly; and patrons, both local and tourists were "protected" rather than hasseled by local law enforcement. After all, illegal gambling was good for the city economy.
