Wanted WTB or WTT Thunderbird Purple Free PLay $1 Chips (1 Viewer)

[David O]

I recently have ben able to come up with almost 2 racks of Thunderbird Hotel and Casino Purple $1 Free Play chips. I say almost because I still lack 29 chips to complete one of the racks. I think I can get them in play with what I have but would much prefer to get at least 2 racks on the table of these gorgeous chips! Can you imagine these as the $1's and possibly a Yellow frac.

Anyway here is a picture of the chip that I am looking for. I need 29 in NM/excellent condition.

And yes I believe they are C&J chips. I do know that Paulson did not start to produce the Hat and Cane mold chips until 1965 so I am thinking these were produced in the early 1960's.

Thank for looking!

I can imagine them with a yellow frac.......

Also i saw a couple lots of 12 of these on eBay...... you've probably seen them........ overpriced in my opinion by quite a bit

Yes I saw those as well. They are a bit over priced. I will probably wait a bit and see what comes up. I lack ~29 to complete the second rack.

Coincidentally I put a want ad on the CC&GTC and mysteriously they appeared on eBay.

I have 1.......yours if you want it. Mint uncirculated. At the very least swap out for a chipped one. Pm your address. No charge.

I may have the scoop on some of these. PM me what they are worth to you and I will contact my source.

Not sure of their worth. Many of the single collectors are trying to get $5 each which is what some are listed for on eBay and still sitting there. I am paying $1.50 to $2 each.

I have not bumped this in a while. Maybe someone out there has some of these that they will let go of?
