PURGE CHIPS: (Steve Passalacqua) The $1 table chip color of the Harrah's Brass Core chip is sunshine yellow. 46 color variations of this chip were purchased by Steve Passalacqua CCA #044, LM #214 (3 Dark Green, 6 Black, 15 light Green, and 22 red). These off-color chips came from the Kolesters Tool and Die Co. family. They made Harrah's first Brass Core casino chips in the late 1960s and 1970s. These brass core slugs have the Kolesters Tool and Die Co. logo inside the casting in the shape of California holding the letters “KTD”. When a new denomination was needed for a color change they would purge the existing ABS plastic color from the current chip run by adding the new color on top of the existing color in the machine. The old color would be purged out of the machine with the new color by filling the $1 brass core slugs until the new color appeared ready for the next denomination color. I call the chips used to purge the old color from the machine Purge Chips. Each of the 46 Kolesters Tool and Die Co. Purge Chips has a hand-cut serial number label placed by me for identification. Not all off-color Brass Core chips are purge Chips. |

1st, "Harrah's Reno and Lake Tahoe" (These cards are very hard pieces to locate. These cards used the punchboard system and were eventually replaced with the mag stripe cards. One can assume that almost every cardholder that came back to Harrah's either threw out or turned in their "worthless" punchboard reader card.)
