Apache customs group buy
50/50 mixed non-denom / denominated
a few separate purposes/sets mixed here

mixed bag
will probably sell them off
the petunia color is the bomb (almost better than blurple)
I wish I had made them to work with another set

button
a gift from the set designer

 

[EmptyPocs]

the design was in sidepot's (chip talk) competition for a new retail BCC set (up against Protege)
after Protege won these were made on ASM Fleurs (?) mold
I was late on that one and they offered to make these on the current (in production) Roman mold
pics to follow
(the only Avalon Clubs ever made on that mold)
after that the hot-stamp version went to Apache for their retail suits mold group buy

 

[EmptyPocs]

these are a little dry and need some m-oil

BEAUTIFUL chips!! I was unaware that anybody had pink 100s made on the suits mold, and was definitely unaware that a roman mold set existed. Also the first time I've seen the petunia fracs. You're just full of firsts today

 

[EmptyPocs]

and seconds!

cool stuff, I got a rack of petunia ND, very nice

Amazing thread, thanks for posting these. I gave a set of Paulson Avalons to a friend in 2008, I recently asked him about them and he said he didn’t know where they are!

Semi-custom Paulsons at a buck apiece, those were the days. I had no idea there were CPC Avalons, I believe the designer went by “Imthatguy” on Chiptalk. Not sure if he’s on here.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Love these thanks for sharing

 

[Eloe2000]

So many good WTHC fracs in there

>>I believe the designer went by “Imthatguy” on Chiptalk.
I am very embarrassed that (only) after a decade I cannot remember many of the old CT names
but yes, he was from Toronto and a graphic designer and chipper

 

[Grimace]

Very nice. You’ve got some great chips @EmptyPocs thank you for sharing them with us

roman mold was a standard selection at the time
& surprised it dropped off the map
a beautiful but very lightweight chip

Retired because it was worn out, I think.

Love chips!

 

[imthatguy]

Look what I found! Pretty neat to see people still have these chips!

A few years back I reached out to William Coughlan...can't remember his CT screen name...he created the Protege design.
Still doing design work but not into chipping anymore.

And no, he didn't have any stock available (obv I asked) but had a full sample set only

I am not much of a sample collector, but these would be a beautiful and historic collection framed up on my wall.
If any one has, PM me.
@Thomacetti : have him send you all artwork mock-ups available!

 

[cpb_mille]

Very nice set. I once considered getting a full set but only managed a few racks of 500s (purple) and 1000s (yellow).

Best part by far was the ability to customize these chips:

And the fact that you came up with some one offs (e.g., black $1s) was brilliant!!

 

[imthatguy]

Ha! My cash set was Black quarters, Purple ones, Yellow fives, White 20's.

Are there any restrictions on these works of art? What if I decide to reproduce them again on CPC forms?

I'm sure there is, you can ask Apache Josh and he can point you in the right direction
