Anyone know if a company makes a Faro Casekeeper?

Hell, does anybody play Faro anymore for that matter. . . .

Thanks.

Since faro is no longer actively played in any public games, faro
equipment is no longer being made. Vintage equipment is very collectible
and sought by people like me.

You can, however, probaably have a faro layout made by Gambler's General
Store in Las Vegas. I recently had a few vintage mint unmounted faro
layouts that sold quickly. As for playing the game, rumors abound of
older LV casino workers playing faro after their shifts.

FYI, I am an active collector of vintage gambling and cheating
equipment,
such as:
* Faro dealing boxes, layouts and casekeepers
* Ivory/Mother-of-Pearl Poker chips and Ivory
dice
* Playing card trimmers and corner rounders
* Card holdout devices
* Gambling Supply Catalogs
* Early (pre-1900) complete decks of American
playing cards such as Steamboat and
Faro/Pharo decks

Cheers!
