chinese octogonal racks (1 Viewer)

[Tienou59]

bought some chips racks with design inspired by B&G

genuine transparent B&G rack for 39mm&43mm chips

variant

chinese copy

chinese copy with 43 mm chips

The copy is very nice, robust, and very transparent (no scratch at all!). however it is wider than the genuine b&g. 39 mm chips will float... great for a display showcase but maybe not for carrying imho

Interesting I would like to know how much these cost you?

 

[Tienou59]

€4,45 = $5 the rack

Wow they look funky, in a nice way. Do they stack well?

They are meant to stack perfectly. There are small flanges and grooves on the upper and lower flat surfaces that interlock.

Are the 8 sides mostly for a superstitious reason (I'm Chinese btw)? I tried to Google the significance but didn't find any.

You can find them on eBay too. Cheap.

I have some of those and I prefer Matsui racks. These are a little too wide to fit into bird cages but they're nice racks for display. What I'm really interested in are these rainbow chips...…………………….WOW!

Here are some of the nicest chips ever made. Simply beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Chinese, too. No, the octagonal racks don't have anything to do with ba qua. They are just an interesting an efficient shape that allows for easy stacking. Chips are not *tight* in these racks, there's a little bit of wiggle/rattle room. Not too much, though (if your chips are minty).

Does anyone have these racks and the 43mm (I believe) Mardi Gras octagon plaques?
I'd be interested to see if these are the perfect solution!

I have these racks and they hold 43mm ceramic octagons perfectly. Perhaps the reason for the octagon?

Can someone post a sales link to these racks? I've seen them in the past, but I looked around on eBay and amazon this weekend and couldn't find them this time around.

Almost all octagonal chips have eight sides. I have no idea why.

(Are 43 mm octagonal chips 43mm measured point-to-point, or side-to-side?)

Thanks, I might order some. Can you measure the height to the top with the lid on?
Are the tops the same as the bottoms? Like Matsui racks?

Where did you buy yours? Buying from within the EU is always a plus!

5cm/2in to the top, and tops and bottoms are the same.
