An oval Gamblers
"patch," that was produced for a wall plaque. These are often found today without the plaque, as apparently
more patches than plaques were produced. This was our monthly featured item for March/April of 2009, and more info
can be found here.

This insulated cooler is probably one of the scarcest collectibles on this page... It measures approx.
11 inches across, 8 inches high and 5 1/2 inches deep. This soft, collapsible item was manufactured by the Todex
Corporation of Denver, Colorado and has a screened three-color Gamblers logo on the front. The "HOUSTON GAMBLERS"
name is screened directly below the logo. The right side of the cooler opens via two velcro flaps, and a black nylon strap
allows for an easy carry.
