39mm and 43mm chip boxes from @justincarothers / Broken Arrow. Really nice!

Some vintage chips from casinos that I grew up hearing stories about that came in over the last week from a couple of sources. Not sure if I'll ever be able to put together a playable set of any of these, but you've got to start somewhere.

600x 'chain' mold on eBay for $10... why not!

Definitely on the plasticky side, but 10 chips weigh in at 90.8g. A bit clickier than clay's clackiness.

From what I can tell, all 4 different chain molds were owned/made by Hunt Co out of Chicago. They were also manufacturers of game pieces like checkers and backgammon pieces.

Box says "Oct 1963" on the side there and I see Hunt operated from 1930's-1960's. I wish there were a "Hunt" label on one of the boxes, or at least the rest of that security seal that presumably read "Do Not Remove" in red letters.

If anyone has any use for 500 of these hit me up in the DM's!

Had some cool chips come in today. Special extra thanks to @liftapint for letting me sort of swoop in and buy these after she made a deal with @BNads86 . I decided to keep em in Canada, they were so close to home already. Adding these to my mixed TRK cash set. The sharp condition of these blew me away, and they match my set so it’s fully sharp now. I’m pretty thrilled but pretty broke too since they were not cheap.
