Got this chip in a grouping of chips on eBay. Was wondering on origin or any info about it. Can’t find anything online, probably someone’s personal set at some point but just thought I’d check
 
A little sleuthing turned up that there were two nightclubs, one in Buffalo NY and another in south Florida. Same owner, and he was killed in a triple murder in the 1990s.

With no denomination, may have been used as a token of some sort.

Ha, you made me waste a half-hour looking this up. Interesting court cases that dragged on from 1994 until 2019 -- two original death sentences, one killer in for life, one incapacitated permanently after a brain aneurysm burst.

This would make an interesting card capper for someone here in FL! I'll give you $10 plus shipping for it... :cool

Very interesting. Didn’t know there was a bar. Just saw the murders when I googled it. I’m gonna have to do a deep dive into a podcast or something to learn about the history.

Crazy stuff! Definitely got some history behind it.
Yeah, if you want to buy it, shoot me a pm and we can work out details. Got any chips you wanna trade for it if you want to buy it outright?
