Edge Spots on chips during the 1950's (1 Viewer)

I'm building a custom set of CPC chips and wandering if there were traditional edge spots for that era (1950's)? Thanks for your input.

Find a list of casinos in the 50's and look for them!

Man, there's something to be said about simple/classic designs. Timeless.

Something like this?

These were inspired by late 40s Vegas Spots, but they carried on over into the 50s. Like @Mental Nomad posted, you start to get 4 spot patterns, and 1/4 pies in the 50s, but three spot patterns were still common.

Beautiful! Good luck with your design. I think I speak for many here when I say, "We can't wait to see what you come up with."

Absolutely! Go for it. Retro sets are really fun and you get to learn a lot about the era in the process of your research. @dennis63 is quite the fan of retro design as well!

Weren't these gorgeous Gambling Lady designs somehow connected with a dokumental film about Elaine? I'm curious how the story turns out ...

Thank you all.for the input. I've put alot of thought into these and wanted to make sure I was being true to the era. My inlay should be be ready to proof Friday. Would love to get feedback on it. Thanks again

You are correct. A screenplay based on the life of Elaine Townsend is officially completed. Our team is discussing the purchasing rights to "Razzle Dazzle-The Elaine Townsend Story" with several hollywood elites. I will make an official announcement as soon as I can.

I never did see how these turned out. Simply stunning! If you are ever so inclined, i'd love a sample.

Sorry, I literally just sent out the last available sample today! If I do an add-on I'll definitely keep you in mind. Thanks for the kind words.
