Buffalo Bill Casino Chip

CASINO CHIP, with a picture of Wild Bill Hickok in the center and "Wild Bill Hickok Legends of the Wild West" on both sides. William Frederick Cody ("Buffalo Bill") got his nickname after he undertook a contract to supply Kansas Pacific Railroad workers with buffalo meat. The nickname originally referred to Bill Comstock. Cody earned the nickname by killing 4,860 American Bison (commonly known as buffalo) in eight months (1867–68). He and Comstock eventually competed in a shooting match over the exclusive right to use the name, which Cody won.
