Faro

[Phillip Gessert]

I am new to this forum. My friends Jeff Smith and Shay Maxwell suggested I write a post as a way to contact Bob Bell and the team at True West. I have some interesting new facts and a never before seen tin type of the western figure Luke Short, which would make for an excellent article in your magazine. I am a professional filmmaker but an avid western history enthusiast. My website Pharobank.com sells quality faro equipment and runs old west gambling events throughout the southwest, as well as owning the Lucky Day Mine claim once owned by Wyatt Earp. Perhaps someone will contact me to discuss the possibility of sharing the information I have with the readers of True West.

We have talked in the past Phil and I do appreciate ALL the help you gave me in getting my Faro board done. It has been a BIG hit where ever I have presented Bat and Faro.

Just have to save up some money for that shoe though.

Hey Bat, Shay Maxwell has a bunch of dealer boxes ready and who know when he will have another batch so if you can you might want to hit him up as soon as you can. Parnell Cards.

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner, but I am not on here often. I can't afford the price of the dealers shoe. I know they are of good quality and certainly worth the cost, I just can't afford the price for the limited times I show Faro. Thanks for information though. I'll keep a watch on Parnell cards.
