Harry Truman Chips - Key West (1 Viewer)

[BELGRADE]

The chips of Harry Truman used in Key West are TRK, right?

Maybe someone has some info or story on this presidential set?

Truman loved to play with his friends and people he worked with. Great quote from the article:

Truman's young naval aide and later special counsel Clark Clifford organized the games. Clifford had replaced a naval aide who told the President that he didn't drink and didn't play cards. Truman listened to this with interest and very quickly found the man a good job somewhere else.
