I don’t know much about these chips, except what I found at the link below:

TRIANGLES AND CLUBS (a/k/a Tri-Clubs) -- triangle and club pip, repeated 12 times. Gambler's General Store, and Langworthy Casino Supply, Inc. -- both of Las Vegas NV, as recently as 1991. I have one chip from Knightsbridge Casino, London (not shown here) that has this mold. .... ... .... ..... I have the green chip for sale as a sample of this mold. It is an advertising chip from the famous Burlington Industries Textile Corp, which has been around since 1923. Click here to visit the Burlington web site and to view their logo --similar as on the chip -- both the weave design and the rounded square border has changed a little over the years! .. .... UPDATE: this mold is not in use anymore, has not been used to make chips in some 20 years. It was donated to the Nevada Historical Society and is on display there.
 
Reading a little closer, it appears that the seller is offering three separate lots of 2,100+ chips. So, in theory, someone could amass over 6K of these chips. Would make some sense if one was running a bigger cardroom.
 
There are at least 3 very similar versions of tri-clubs mold. One of them being injection molded plastic and hard to tell. But a close up of the plastic ones reveals a dot inside the triangle or club shape.

Fwiw these do look like the clay type I once had. But anyone wanting to pull the trigger should request a closeup of both sides of a chip and check for dimples.
 
These have been for sale for awhile. One member bought a limit set from the seller and ended up returning them. He said they didn’t feel very good to him and different than some he has had in the past. There a few past threads discussing them.

I purchased a limit set of these from this same seller several months ago. After receiving the chips I chose to return them as they felt much more "plastic-y" than other tri clubs I also owned.
