Found these chips in the basement of a country club. Any idea who made these? (1 Viewer)

Basically the title summarizes it. Any idea where these came from?

The green chips look like old ASM CSQ mold chips. No idea what the others are though?
 
Awesome chips! I'm working on two Tri-Club sets at the moment, such a cool mold!

Are the orange ones Tri-Club or Circle Square?
 
How do they feel?

The tri-clubs I have feel identical in weight to current CPC chips. I believe the tri-club chips were made by the CPC predecessors. However, I have also come across solid tri-clubs that had a much lighter and more plastic-y feel.

I wouldn't put a lot of money on that orange being an ASM colour. Therefore my bet is Tri-Clubs are non ASM, but if you think they were made by ASM, then...........................
 
Ewing mold, tri-club, and circle-square mold chips were all produced by Burt Co.

Gambler's General Store owned the tri-club mold, so it's certainly possible that they later converted it to an injection-mold process made by RT Plastics.
