Gaming supply manufacturer originally located in Kansas City, Missouri, which moved to downtown Los Angeles in 1931. Owned by Milton C. Anderson from the 1920s through the 1940s. Paul Endy, with a partner, bought the company in the early 1950s. Endy sold his share of the company in 1971. T. R. King moved to its final location on Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles around 1980. Dennis O'Neill, who began working there in the 1970s, was the last owner of the company from the 1980s to 2006.
T. R. King was a major supplier of Nevada casino chips and dice, until 1978, when the Nevada Gaming Commission denied the company a license to sell casino equipment, due to having sold gaffed dice and marked cards in other states.
