They were made by Burt for BC Wills in the late 1970’s.

What do you still have from these finds?

 

[Mr. Cheese]

Great pricing on these! Nice looking chips!

What do you still have from these finds?

2,000 of the $1 Sahara chips. The rest moved on long ago.

 

[AfterTheFact]

1000 Redfield chips!?!? Wow... Which color or both colors? I believe Gene told me once only 1000 of each color were ordered in 1954.

@JStew

These would go great with the paris 5s

It's been over a decade, so believe that they were roughly an even split.

I LOVE those chips, and have a rack of each. I also have two racks of those Sahara’s. GLWS John. If we ever played limit these would make an awesome set. Should go quickly.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[studioapc]

Anyone know these feel comparatively?? I am certainly interested

 

[JStew]

I’ll take 1000 if still available to go with the Paris 5 small Greek keys I got from Mr. Ripton. Should make a fun spread 1-2 limit set. PM coming.

 

[JWC]

Bump. I have a few racks left if anyone is interested.
