I’m always on the lookout for cards and chips. They also had a little baggy of old red bake lite poker chips with the Harrahs logo, might go back for them tomorrow.

Here’s an ace from a setup from June, 1961, as noted on the 3 digits to the left of the logo: Since yours don’t have a manufacture date, I have no idea. Maybe someone with more info about KEMs will chime in. Either way, it’s still a score! Wait…. You left chips on the table?!?!? EDIT: I just read, that KEMs with NO date code are from 1935-1937, so these are indeed one the earliest KEM decks! Last edited: Nov 2, 2025
