Reggies. Need help identifying (1 Viewer)

[i'm nobody]

I was fortunate enough to receive these recently. I was not planning on keeping them but I just might try to build a small cash set around them.
I could not find anything under the poker chip database but there seems to be a little bit of info about a brothel.
Reggies Club, Brawly, CA.
Any info is appreciated. And they stack like brand new. There looks to be a little wear on the hot stamp but other than that there is not a thing wrong with them.
Thanks.

Great chip! I’m sure someone has some info about these.

I'd be a little wary here and proceed cautiously if you're on the hunt. If noone here has seen them before and you can't find it via search function, I'd say there's a potential for a "find" - meaning that unless these were chips for "dances", surely there were a playable amount and none being on here or online or eBay or available via singles anywhere, maybe they're sitting in a pile somewhere.

Actually, now looking at them, I don't see a denom. Is there a denom on the other side?

If not, might not be specifically for poker and may just be marketing related.

There's nothing in historical cali cardroom directory on "Reggies", yet there's 4 other ones listed in Brawley. Also can't find a "Reggie's" cardroom as having a CA gaming license either active/inactive now, or in the past.

So, it may not be difficult, but I'd guess it would take a bit of sleuthing to figure out.

If I find something tangible or a contact, I'll pm it to you.

@BarrieJ3 I could go down to 7 mile in Detroit and get you some real reggie. The brown weed from the 90's.

I should have taken a pic of the other side. They are $1.00 chips.
More pics later today or tomorrow.
Thanks so much.
