Here's a news article from Chicago Tribune, Sunday, April 25, 1965

This news article mentions gambling was not allowed at this time (April 25, 1965).

This chip is a Small Key Mold, manufactured by B. C. Wills & Co. between 1937 to 1965.

The Hot-Stamp reads "NEVADA CLUB WALKER HILL SEOUL, KOREA"

(thanks for the trade Walter D.)

Not much is known about where & when this chip was used.

One thing is for certain, it wasn't used in a South Korean casino.

The denomination is US $1. Korean Won is used in every casino.

Walker-hill Casino opened in March 1968, 3 years after B. C. Wills & Co. stopped making this chip.

If you have any information on this chip please contact me.

Also, if you were stationed in South Korea in the early 60's and saw this chip being used at Walker Hill Resort please let me know.
