Seller wants $40, figured I’d ask here if anyone can ID these before I pursue. I figure I’ll need better photos from seller, but thought one of you experts might be able to quickly identify. Thanks!

What’s the giveaway, the shine on the edges? I almost thought it looked like the unicorn mold, but I don’t know much of it’s history.
I think I see a unicorn mold on the face, so probably plastic.
My thought exactly
the bright red ones look very plastic

Oh well, was hoping for a hidden gem. Thanks for the help!
would not hurt to ask seller a picture from faces (to be sure)
Plastic unicorn mold is my guess as well although I believe some unicorn mold were also used to make clay chips
I’d gamble $40 that they’re clay. These colors are more traditionally old ASM colors than unicorn molds, look like maybe old E&C mold

Case is worth at least $20, and he’s got an automatic shuffler so you know he’s a pro. {sarcasm}. But I agree with Kyle, they look like E&C, and even if not they might make a good travel tournament set.
I think old clay, possibly CSQ. The case is also a clue.
Don't guess. Ask for one clear face shot that has one of each colour in it.

He just sent a photo, then updated that a family member wants to keep them. What mold is this?
Elephant and crown. A current offering by CPC.

Elephant and Crown clay. CPC makes them now but not sure about historically

Probably worth about .30 FMV each is my guess maybe a little less given condition.

Haha, yep...well done @kmccormick100 . They looked plastic to me or I would’ve jumped faster
I don't think it's the condition that's the issue, as much as the quantities. But yeah, given that those quantities are fairly unplayable, I'll agree with that price. If there were more of them, maybe closer to fifty cents a chip?

not for solids. honestly probably closer to 10 or 15c a chip.
I got several thousand e&c solids a while back and ended up selling them for around 10c each, and they were not easy to move at that price.
not a set your going to make money on, but if you like them they are worth the asking price.
Wish I got in on that deal

I meant the color variation as far as condition. I payed about $60 at auction here for a set of 200 of an odd breakdown (intended to use for heads up/three way set) in mint untouched condition. That’s where I was getting the .30 from.

According to information here and on other sites, the mold is (still) owned by Marion & Co. CPC currently uses it for a per chip fee.
I assume ASM would be producing the chips that customers ordered at Marion & Co.
Burt Co. made chips for Marion & Co. using their E&C mold. ASM and CPC both offered chips to their customers using the mold for an additional usage fee paid to Marion & Co., but I don't think they (Marion) has sold chips for a very long time.

May I translate?
You posted them on a public forum and someone else found them too and offered me more than I was asking....so I'm gonna sell them to someone else for more.

I wonder how long ago that was. Because it seems like solids have skyrocketed in demand in the past couple of years (here at least) since more people have started mulling.

Probably just opened the case upside down.
