| Licensed card room originally at 534 El Camino Real North. It moved to 2160 Main Street around 1975. Owned by Frank Fossett from 1966 to 2003. Previously called "Lee's Bavarian Inn".
The United States Playing Card Co. sold 1100 of the red C & S chips to the Joe Treyball Co. (a gambling supply company) in St. Louis Missouri, on 3/11/31. They were likely sold on to one of Treyball's Midwest customers. The attribution to Frank's is traced to Armin Pfaender's California Chip Guide (2004), and is almost certainly a mis-attribution.
