Chip with C&A and a little cabin. Worth anything? (1 Viewer)

[postmanpete]

Hi guys,

I ran across a few old chips and can't find any info on them. Anybody know about these?

@FDLmold any idea? I have never seen anything of it's kind.

Rectangles and hearts - not a lot of info on this one - "1950's. Code and Co., Chicago IL"

Looking at eBay, not this chip but similar

They don't appear to be worth fortunes or anything, but still cool chips! Those Old School Molds are just awesome!

Hearts and Rectangles - I started looking around on the web and had no idea so many chip companies were right here in Kansas City.

Just based on this one document, these might have been made by:

Code & Co. 234 S. Franklin Street Chicago, Illinois Hearts and Rectangles Mold - Code’s Super Speed Checks - Diamond Rectangle Mold - Code Crap Checks

Anyway - interesting bit of history in that little pdf. Howard Herz really put a lot of effort in on that.

I'm working on getting this seller who is out of town to sell me around 12 that he's got. I'm not going to go to much effort to get them. I should know more this week.

I can't find a listing for this chip in my old 2012 The Gaming Table.

If you end up getting those chips, I would be interested in trading or buying one of those chips. I collect chips that have unusual hot stamps. Feel free to drop me a note.

Well, I ended up getting 10 of these. They shipped them in little baggies with an overly optimistic value of 24.99.

I’ll see if I can clean one up a little. My cost was about $4 each.

I was afraid to clean very aggressivel. Just some dawn dish soap and soft bristle toothbrush.
