Does anyone know anything about this chip.

Pretty sure it says Showboat on the reverse, which would have made things easier right away

To be fair…doesn’t it say Showboat on this side too?!??

Sorry OP…I’m not one who can help!!

1960 - Showboat

And because of all the prior hoopla…

Showboat! That is one very nice chip! Thanks for showing!

I think I've only seen one, if that, in person ever. I'd love to hear the story on how you got it or anything!

how?

how?

Rarity, age, very hard to find, etc. Only 600 chips ever made too. That's how...

Just like most early Showboat chips, they're harder to find and rare. Not much too it.

The 20th edition of The Chip Rack has this listed as Z6 ($5100-$8099) though that eBay sale in 2008 shows the guide is clearly only that... a guide!!

I vaguely remember seeing this chip on some antique show or pawnstars or something like that.

@darbri do you own this chip? Are you potentially in the market to sell?

 

[colter ripton]

I could use one for my Ratrod set. Lol

I do own this chip. I have probably had it for 18 years. I found it my grandparents belongings after they passed away. I didn't think it was worth very much, I just really liked the look of the chip. I couldn't find any chips like it until I found the article on the eBay auction for the same kind of chip. I was going to possibly put it up for auction on eBay so I am in the market to sell it.

If you decide to part ways with it, could you post the eBay link on this thread? (you'll likely increase the final bid price if you let me/us know) As much as some people dislike auctions & feebay, I think you're probably correct in putting it up on there since the value is a bit of a crapshoot .
