1st time seller here, but I have been in the game for some years. I am offering this set of Paulson, Hat and Cane (all are in a short cane version (SCV)) from the long closed Airport Plaza Hotel poker room (Zorro's Lounge), Seattle, Washington, USA. The hotel was previously named the 'Swept Wing Inn' being it was at the Seattle/Tacoma (SEATAC) airport and the lounge was then called the Rib & Finn. It was rumored that during the 1962 World's Fair, both facilities were operated as an illegal poker room and brothel, but that pre-dates these chips. 1980 is the Opening date of the poker room for these chips. After the facility closed, the chips passed from the owner to an employee, who passed them along to a friend. The friend used the lower denominations for a weekly card game (poker) which is why the 50¢, $1 and $5 chips show wear, with the 50¢ chips being used the most. The 25¢, $10 and $25 chips are very clean, with sharp edges. The hotel remains in operation under a newer name.

These are the official quantities for this offer. (NOTE: These have been offered previously (not at PCF) and those offers have been pulled and I do not plan to cross-post these elsewhere, but will entertain offers from those that may have seen the earlier offers.) (Out-of-sight, but perhaps not out-of-mind.) I suspect that these are 'leaded' Paulson chips. I have included several pictures to show the weight, in grams, of a single $1 chip and a barrel of $1 chips.

180 x 25¢
360 x 50¢
900 x $1
250 x $5
90 x $10
25 x $25

Total number of chips: 1,795

I have lots of pictures here, but can provide better images (scans), if requested.

Shipping details:

These will ship from Las Vegas, Nevada, baby! Local pick-up will reduce overall cost. Shipping will be to a US-only address. Shipping will be inclusive of the selling price to a US-only address. If there is a request to ship to a non-US address, or with special conditions, the buyer will be responsible for all shipping costs, including Insurance as an addition to the selling price.

While nearly all of the images show the chips in acrylic racks, the racks are not included, and instead the chips will be shipped in white cardboard boxes of 100 chips, as seen in several of the images. The chips arrived to me at about 47 lbs. Also not offered are the background layouts.

My asking price is: $3,600. I can accept PayPal (buyer will pay fees) and Zelle. We can also discuss alternative forms of payment. Shipping will happen within 3 days of money transfer, only because I have several, 1 or 2 day trips ahead.

Being new to PCF, I recognize that I could be a stranger in a new land, but I am certainly not a stranger in a strange land. Moreover, I can provide references if needed. I thank you for your consideration and please feel free to ask me questions regarding this offer, here, or via DM.

If splitting, I am interested in the 25¢ to start building my micro cash set. GLWS

Sorry, but you would need to organize a buying party for everything. Of course you can always buy it all and make the split yourself. ;) Tongue-in-cheek of course. Thank you for the offer.
 
I think both glow.
Both did glow, as well as the APH $5. Both the APH $5 and watermelon sample glowed the same. So, even though under normal lighting they are a slightly different shade, under the UV light, they look the same.
