Poker Chips Magazine. New York: Frank Tousey. N1 (Jun. 1896) ? N6 (Nov. 1896). Complete file. Each issue in chromolithographed pictorial paper wrappers. Together with the July, 1897 issue of The White Elephant, the successor periodical to Poker Chips. Scattered nicks, rubber stamps, and a few old marks, primarily to wrappers; generally good to very good. Final issue and The White Elephant well worn, but sound. Rare. Frank Tousey, a publisher of chapbooks and street literature, filled Poker Chips with ?stories of the great American game.? The magazine folded after just six issues, and was succeeded by The White Elephant, which promised tales on broader subjects, by well-known authors, including Conan Doyle and Mark Twain. The final issue of Poker Chips features humorist (and magician) Marshall P. Wilder on its cover, and a full-page advertisement for The White Elephant fills the rear wrapper. This is first complete file of Poker Chips to come to auction, and is one of but a handful extant.
