Was hiking with my wife near Bridgeport CA and found this yellow poker/roulette chip in the dirt. Cannot tell if it is a really old chip or just some junk. It is definitely hand carved. Wondering if anyone has any insight into helping us ID this chip.

The $100 chip is there for reference to show the size.

Thank you!

Don’t have info on that chip, but I have spent many a Fourth of July in Bridgeport. Beautiful out there. I once acquired a set of TRK Large Crowns from a casino in Bishop that was open in the late 1940’s.
 
Looks pretty Generic to me and Being Broken is certainly not a plus. Id put it back in the dirt., where it can Rest in Pieces!
 
Your horseshoe. chip is an old one, probably turn of the century or older. It is one that is hand engraved and there really are no two exactly alike in this style. Attached are a few horses I have. Yours appears to be the third from the left on the top row.
