Burt Co. Die-cut chips (1 Viewer)

[duffman]

Does anyone have a list of old casino's that used Burt Co. die-cut metal inlay chips in the early days. I'd like to see as many examples as possible. Been searching through the chip guide. I'm working on a custom label that pays tribute to this style. I love the simplicity of the design. If anyone knows of any more, let me know. So far I've found these...

Also, I have these in my collection from the Corsair (private yacht)

Unfortunately the metal inlay chips pre-date the manufacturers records so there is no ready made list.

Thanks for the pics David. Ever consider bringing this option back? I'm guessing the process is labor intensive and costly?

Apparently, back in the day (and we are talking 1946-1952) the metal inlays had to be made by a company in England and cost a fortune.
With different ingredients and higher temperatures nowadays, I'm not sure the inlays would withstand the pressing, or. keep the clay from spilling through the gaps and over parts of the inlay. Would be way too expensive a thing to experiment with I think.

The metal inlays look like photo etch metal parts made for plastic models.

Love die cuts, but not too many around. Here's a few more (images from the chip guide):

Mapes, Reno. There is a 25 and 100, too.

Colonial Inn, Florida (illegal club)

Here are a few of the die cuts that i have in my collection.
