We are settling his estate. The collection has a 1920's Craps, Roulette and Black Jack Tables and are offered independent of these slot machines by Alberto Guerrero of Iconic Design in Miami, Fl. This collection was stored by the late Jim Garrison in the warehouse district of New Orleans after the ban and subsequent crackdown on gambling. In 1987 the collection was acquired by Ralph G. James after he relocated to New Orleans and renewed a friendship with the late District Attorney, Jim Garrison. Garrison rocketed to fame when he challenged the Warren Commission's finding that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he assassinated JFK. Garrison found connections in New Orleans to another man who was at the assassination in Dallas. His disclosure of these facts brought to light the Oliver Stone "zaprurder" film, JFK. James had been Mayor of Wildwood, New Jersey for 12 years and headed the Eastern Division of the GOP for just as many years. He was a well respected politician, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Just one coin in the viewing panel of the slots could be worth more than the asking price. You can own a piece of history and give it a fabulous future.
