Archie,

I have been on three Different Ships, the first was the Contessa here in Palm Beach,it went broke. It dispenced the complete series of Colorado ,& payback was $12 Each,not ten. Note all three ships have Anchor,& had three bar Machines. The Second is Still going out of the Port of Palm Beach,& the last time I went out,it had two of the Three bar machines. One dispences Colorado Babe Ruth Strikes,& the second has the following series. There are four Different in the Machines. They are Sunken Treasure, Island Paradise,Neptune,& Lost ship. They show all Silver in the Case,but dispence HSP .Heavy Plated silver. All are redeemable at the Cage for $10.00 Each,& are identical to a Silver Strike. The Third ship was the Norweign Cruise line Same set,Same Machine Different ship logo. Still Redeemable at $10 Each. Christie Gregary,& Dennis Finn have them listed in there book. There are $7s,$10s,& $12 Strikes,and come in Plastic holders. Could be that the guy who offered you a buck a piece,has thoughts of cashing them in at $10,on his next Cruise!!
