I just finished this set and am happier than I should be with it. It's all A-Molds from Washington State Cardrooms/Casinos. Anyway, here they are!
80 x $.25
Kenmore Lanes (Kenmore, WA)
160 x $1
21 Club (Tukwilla, WA)
40 x $5
Drift on Inn (Seattle, WA)
20 x $25
Forrest Grove (Birch Bay, WA)
The Kenmore Lanes $.25's were unicorns until
@navels unearthed them. He knew I had loved that smokey old joint and had logged a lot of time there, so he very graciously gifted me a rack of them. I thought about trying to put together a set, but that never took shape.
The 21 Clubs popped up not too long ago and I had always loved that chip since I started collecting Washington chips in the early 2000's. I had never seen more than 1 of them so I reluctantly jumped at the opportunity because they were never available in quanity... to my knowledge before or since. I hope there are more out there as I would love to add to the set, but I'm not holding my breath.
I had visited the Drift on Inn, but can't remember if I actually played there or not, but when these came up the other day when David was selling old chips by the barrel, I snagged them immediately. The edgespot progression is off, but they fit in every other respect, so I was happy to pick them up.
The Forrest Grove appears to have been a dive. Had never heard of it, let alone visit the place, but doing a little research, the place was legit, so the chips work in the set.
The quarters and $1's need to be cleaned but overall I am way more excited than I feel like I should be to have this small set complete. If anyone has a lead on the $1's or $5's in quantity, I would love to hear from you. In the meantime I think I am going to look for a 300 chip wood case or a 300 chip carousel to store these beauties.
I will take proper pics once they are all cleaned but couldn't wait to post something, so I thought I would post them here in the Mixed Set Showcase.
Thanks for checking them out!
TL/DR - If you know where I can get more '21 Club' or 'Drift on Inn' chips to add to this let me know.
