I just got this sweet little chip from @Drumhoss yesterday. I've seen pics of other Paulson Premium chips, but none where there are openings in the decor ring to let the clay material through, in this case they are aligned with the yellow inserts. Are there other chips like this?
Well, I guess that answers our previous constuction questions. The decor ring is obviously added on top of the base chip, and doesn't replace the underlying material.
