I love arodie mold chips just because nobody has much of a clue about their origins.

borrowed from antiquegamblingchips.com

ARROW DIE (a/k/a Arrows and Dice) (ARODIE) -- 12 arrowheads and 12 dice (the 6 dice sides are repeated twice; the opposite dice total

7). c.1953-c.1968: Tom Haines and Co., Las Vegas NV. Some or all of them were marketed under the name Precision, Inc., 214 W. Wyoming, Las Vegas NEV, Haines' company. The arrow die mold is highly prized and relatively rare. It has been used mostly in Nevada. ... .... David Spragg offered this info: "Chips are known from 1947 (or even 1946 onwards). No one knows who the original owner was, the mold possibly resided at USPC before being bought by Burt in 1946. 1951-1953 it was owned by H N Garrison of Reno Game Supply (at that time Tommy Haines was an employee). From 1953 it was owned by Haines (initially as Precision Inc). All chips were made by Burt Co. After the mold wore out and was returned to Haines it was presumably destroyed." ..... An interesting thing about the arrowdie mold is that there is one hashmark on each side of an arrowdie chip. Each side has 12 dice (2 sets of 1 thru 6). So there are two one-spots (aces) on each side. On each side there is only one hashmark (looks like a slanted file mark) above (only) one of the one-spot dies. Same thing on the other side. It is hard to see on worn chips. Easy to see here. Just click this link. ...........The yellow chip pictured on the far left is a generic Arrow Die chip -- "$5" is on both sides. For sale I have the same thing, except used, in white and "5¢" on both sides.

I love how members know so much about chips. I never knew about the hash mark and didn't even notice it. Now it jumps out at me.

Yes, it is good to add that they also rare so someone needs to snatch these up! Good Luck with the sale!

 

[FDLmold]

Yes, rare. The hash Mark I always thought was a neat feature. There is a Sands chip on the arodie that is just about the coolest casino chip ever.

Sorry for the thread jack but the history may help the sale.

No, I appreciate it...

Over on the Casino Collectors Association (formerly the cc and gtcc) the one thing all of those folks seem to agree on is that the best mold ever is.....the Arrow Die.
