Mine Solid Hotstamped ASM set and a barrel of Aviation Club 20's (1 Viewer)

[ChipEnvy]

Hey, I have a couple chips going on eBay right now. They both end Sunday.

First is a set of ASM solid Hotstamps. They have the initals "AS" on both sides. They are in great shape but some will need to be flattened... But that is easy enough and there is plenty of info on this forum and CT to get it done, I just don't have the time.
eBay item number: 131651259338

I also recently picked up some Aviation Club de France jetons. I had planned on using them with my mixed casino set, but the Dunes $20 Baccarat chips look better, so these are being sold. No reserve and free shipping.

Let me know if you have any questions. I have 100% feedback except for one jackwagon that got a bunch of Paulsons $100 Fun Nites that were well described for $.30 each and was pissed they needed to be cleaned (he never even contacted me, would have been happy to refund him).

Thanks!

@ChipEnvy What's the history of those ASM hotstamps? Your original order?

 

[ChipEnvy]

Not an original order. If they were a TH or anything that mean something to me I'd keep them, but my OCD makes it feel to me like I am playing golf with someone else's clubs.

Anyway the history of the chips can not be verified, but I bought them in 2012 in a lot of chips from a guy in Renton, WA. He said they were his dads chips that he used in his club in the 50's in downtown Seattle. He went on to say his partner was a sketchy guy named Rothstein. None of it really stuck with me until I posted pics on thechipboard.com. No one knew about the Circle and Square "AS" chips but the small lot of chips that came with it pictured below, had been identified.

Sorry for the large pic... But it was from the Eagle Cigar Store on Pike Street in Washington. Ordered in 1938 by a Myer Rothstein. So the guys story more or less checks out, but obviously can't be verified. The AS chips are at least 15 years newer than the SGA chips and are in much better condition.

No one knows what the SGA or the AS means or stands for. So there's the incomplete history of the chips as far as I know it.

Thanks!

Last bump. Saturday night drunk bids welcome!

Love those Aviation Club jetons. If anyone from PCF picks them up, I'd be interested in 2 if you want to sell a couple...
