Hello, By chance, does anyone know the background story to the CPC B-Diamond Mold? I'm guessing the "B" has significance. I thought I remember a previous post mentioning a name, but I can't find it now. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

B-DIAMOND (a/k/a DIAMOND-B) -- "B" and 4 diamonds, repeated four times. This mold seems to have been used mostly in the northwestrn United States. It is now sold by Seattle Restaurant Store Co. (a cookware store!), Seattle WA, which opened in 1933 as Tavern Supply Co./Bar Mart........Luke Rapley sent me a variation of this chip, which came in a box saying Tavern Supply Co., Seattle, Wash. To see it, click here. ...........I have the chip pictured on the left for sale. They are in nice shape except for the worn hot-stamp image. One side has "$1.00." and the reverse says "5050." .... As of October 2015, the mold is still being produced in Maine at Classic Poker Chips company, a company that took over from Atlantic Standard Molding in 2013-2014. All their molds can be seen here. The mold is licensed for use in Nevada as of 2014 onwards.

I'm guessing it just followed the "A" mold.
I was considering a custom cash set on the B-diamond mold, but since I got my Grouse Mountains and a growing collection of CDI98s, I;'ve abandoned that idea.

Thank you for the great information! Very interesting... I thought I read somewhere (perhaps on this forum) that the "B" was named after someone.
Any chance you know something about CPC's Amold? I read that the "A" stands for "American". Is this from the "A" is "ASM"? Did ASM originally produce the Amold?

I think the "H" mold was associated with a name... iirc.

Nope...
From antiquegamblingchips:
"H" MOLD (H.C.E.)-- 8 H's. H. C. Edwards and Co., NYC. Was a major supplier of Nevada chips, 1940's to 1968. The business was started in the 1920's [I own a 1929 H. C. Edwards catalog, but unfortunately it didn't include chips, just dice, cards, etc., although "checks" was one of the products listed on the cover] and was sold and broken up in 1984. Then Bazaar Supply/Berk Trading Co., Yonkers, NY, owned the mold and used it infrequently, but not for U.S. casinos. I am told that the mold was used in Europe at that time. In about 2004, Bazaar Supply/Berk Trading went out of business, and Atlantic Standard Molding/Poker Chips Online bought the mold, and although it is not yet shown on their web site, it is used today by ASM for home poker chip sets, but not for casinos..........Mark Lighterm has obtained some of the H C Edwards Co. shipping-chip hot-stamp records and has put them on two CD's ($15.00) and in an H.C.E. book. E-mail him at mlighter@bellsouth.net .....Club 36 chips are unattributed in some works, but the Richard Edward Staeffler Memorial California Card Rooms web site attributes them to club at 3628 University Ave, San Diego CA (1974-77). ... ..... As of October 2015, the mold is still being produced in Maine at Classic Poker Chips company, a company that took over from Atlantic Standard Molding in 2013-2014. All their molds can be seen here. The mold is licensed for use in Nevada as of 2014 onwards.
Just repeating what was told me
When I ordered 2300 H molds 14 years ago from ASM although not by Jim B - someone else. Sorry for the misinformation.

Nope. The A mold was around long before ASM took over the Burt Co. assets. Formally known as the A-Crest mold, although many refer to it as the A-mold or American mold.

Do you know which chip manufacturer first used the A-mold?
B-molds recently found in the wild. So thick some only fit 19 to a barrel. Suprised how much I like the mold.
I saw those two weeks ago. Didn't have any need for them, so I thought it wouldn't be worth lugging all of these up to Canada for no reason.
The stamps are really nice. 6 hour round trip for me. Totally worth it.
When I tried to look up FOE 2809 in Gig Harbor on chipguide, it returned nothing. So I figured I couldn't do anything with just 2 colours, anyway.
It wouldn't be in there. It's like one of a million elks lodge type place.
Ha ha. Who says I can do anything with them! They're fun to look at. Like a piece of art.
Fraternal Order of Eagles. Actually, chipguide lists lots of FOE houses and their chips. I've got a bunch of FOE stamped SQINCR chip from Bremerton.
Ah ok. Good to know.
