Wanted Diamond Tooth Gertie's - Help Make a (Canadian) Dream Come True! (1 Viewer)

[cpac54]

Considering myself very lucky to have the chance to continue a project started a while back by fellow Canadian Chipper @BNads86.

Looking to complete a playable set of "Diamond Tooth Gertie's." Opened in 1971 in Dawson City, Yukon, it was (much to my suprise) Canada's very first Casino, and paid tribute to the area's history in the Klondike Gold Rush.

This will likely be a longer-term project, but I'm up to the challenge! Looking primarily for any of the following TR King scrown denominations in any and all quantities (but will take others to if it helps facilitate a deal):

If you have any of the above, let's make a deal, eh! Any and all help in bringing these great pieces of Canadian casino history home would be greatly appreciated.

Found a single $1.

Wasn’t a big place, but surely there must be more out there!

I swear I have some that are different color (just singles) were there additional souvenir runs?

Yup! There's an orange $5 and a brown 50c frac as well

I think that I have around 2 barrels of these
chips left … will check and let you know …

Perhaps a new custom CPC tribute set would be easier......

Attached are the 2 barrels that I have .
10 of the red 50 cent chips
30 of the brown 50 cent chips
All in new condition
Will send you a DM

True, but then they wouldn’t really be Diamond Tooth Gertie‘s, would they?

I played there more than 20 years ago on my first trip to Alaska and the Yukon. Can't help you with the chips but thanks for resurrecting a fond memory for me.

Found a few more $0.50 chips. Keep 'em coming, any and all help greatly appreciated!
