Sorry but I'm building up to the plaques, bear with me.
These have been offered on the chip board and am going to offer them here now too.
A set of 8 Large Greek Key mold Le Cercle casino chips. 4 sets sold so far.
I have many of these now, mostly in unused condition but all have been cleaned so look slightly "white" for a number of possible reasons. They seem to clean up nicely then go like that. There's nothing wrong with them but I think that another clean and an oiling (not my forte and I certainly ain't doing it) would make them look even better. Shiny, shiny as they say.
Most of these will be made into poker sets as there does actually seem to be an interest. Way too expensive for me though!
A "sample" set of the 8 is available although all are uncancelled (never seen before as the handful previously known were all notched, yes, all of them). Maybe you're contemplating a playable set but want to see what they are like first or maybe just want a set for posterity or just because they are beautiful but whatever reason (if any at all) drop me a line if so. Yes I know, the picture contains a £1 and £5 that will NOT be in a good set, they'll probably be 2nds.
A set of 8 beautiful LGK chips from a prestigious London casino with connections to many other important events over the years, well, I'd buy them so....................
The price is $100 a set of 8 (plus a damaged one to show what happens to some of them although only if mistreated probably). I actually think these type either weren't used much or even at all as there are many knackered ones in racks that look like they fell apart whilst being used, or picked up even, some are so loose. It's the sort of thing cash desks do when damaged chips come back to the desk but at least most of the still whole ones are looking great after the clean up.
I don't actually envisage many takers of single sets on here but want to offer them anyway. Poker sets will take a bit more time.
If larger amounts wanted they will be available eventually but again, please bear with me. They should also be a "2nd's" set that will have 25p and 50ps with wear/dirt and the £1s, £5s etc will have minor nicks, chips, dirt etc but all will still be presentable. I hope to put a condition guide in photos up soon if any interest in the possible sets.
Every set that is sold will be wiped/cleaned again and photographed before being sent so that the buyers (if any) will be happy with them. I will probably add a couple of other "bits" that may interest as well, only because I'm a soppy sod and want to give a bit more value. Plus if you like them you may buy a set of the other types too.
Larger amounts obviously will be cheaper the more you get. A single chip of any denomination will be $12 (plus postage). A stack of 20 will work out at $11 each, 100 at $10 each and any more than that, well we can haggle I expect/suppose. I am happy to post anything up to the value of £250 myself, it's just the larger lots I would prefer buyers organize.
Collection would be great for the larger sets, obviously but if not possible then I would prefer if the buyer arranges pick up/delivery and I will pack, weigh and measure all boxes so that it is easy to do. Sorry but there is no way I am posting abroad using the Royal Mail and other alternatives are available that you lot probably know a lot better than me so................
Sorry, every message seems to turn into a novel at the moment as I don't want to miss anything out and hope to do the stuff I hope to sell justice.
If I have not answered any questions that pop into your head, please feel free to ask, I'm on a massive learning curve and expect the odd hiccup here and there.
You know the funniest thing about it? I just bought 4 of these (with another and all notched) for $175 just 2 months ago, oh well.
I'm sure most of you are aware of the Bond/Beatles connection to this club although not these chips specifically and trust me ,they are really nice on the eyes and would great framed.
Sorry, well done if you read all of this, almost done.
Also shown are the jetons that will be the next thing offered as "samples" with playable sets probably also being available at some time in the future. Probably not so much call for these as they are pre-decimal but still, they are gorgeous too. They have the usual "jeton smell" (nature of the beast just like the plaques) but good luck finding any without, of any type.
I need a rest after all that explaining so....................enjoy the photos.
