Bone chips? And Pleasure Palace? (1 Viewer)

[inapinch]

Are these four chips considered "bone chips"?

And, has anyone ever heard of "Pleasure Palace" before? I can't find anything on PCF, eBay, or chipboard.

The ladies chip seemed appropriate, for the bone and the pleasure topics. hehe.

I only know about this test because my grandmother used to be an antique dealer back in the day. If you want to know if it's bone or ivory, do the following test.
The test consists of heating up the point of a needle until it's red-hot and then pricking what you believe is your ivory carving. If the needle goes in, it's plastic; if not, it's probably ivory, or at least bone.

Also, what else did you get in that haul you posted in the mail thread?

I played blackjack at the Pleasure Pit at Planet Hollywood. But have not heard of the Pleasure Palace.

That’s great advice, I’m headed out of town for the weekend, but will try this when I get back for sure. Thanks bud!

I’m attaching some better photos of the whole set. I don’t think it’s much, but it’s cool to have a whole set from another single collector mostly just plastics and coins

I looked for "Pleasure Palace" on the ChipGuide search utility and that came up with no results. That's a curious one.

It's probably a strip joint that used chips for tips or drink tokens.
