Hi everyone! I have been taking the noobie advice and ordering samples. I ordered a sample set from Apache poker and was hoping they might be labeled for me to know what they were, but sadly they are not. I have narrowed some off and figured them out but these are ones I am stuck trying to figure out who made them, etc.
Any help is super appreciated! Thank you in advanced.

A. 9.5g injection-molded plastic with adhesive label, no metal insert. Similar in construction and materials to thecNexGen Pro line of chips and a dozen other alternative-mold plastic clones, including the 9g Dunes Commemorative and Desert Palms chips. Not to be confused with China clay chips, which typically weigh about 10g and are more fragile.
B.
CIC/plastic -- Coin-in-center (two thin pieces of metal) surrounded by injection-molded plastic. Typically around 14g-15g, usually a slightly-softer more rubbery feel vs sharp-edged ABS hard plastic.
C. Mold looks like RT Plastics. I think these were 9g injection-molded plastic, although they did make some heavier slugged chips as well.
D. Claysmith 13.5g injection-molded plastic with metal slug and adhesive labels. Several different label versions exist, along with two other three different mold configurations and 'spot' patterns.
E. Gemaco ~9.5g compression-molded clay chip with oversize 'giant' inlay, produced by GPI on the lammer mold for Apache poker chips (retail market reseller). Gemaco chips are no longer available from GPI.
F. ICON 10g ceramic/plastic chip.
G. Paulson ~10g compression-molded clay chip with oversize 'giant' inlay, produced by GPI on the
RHC mold for JACK Casino Cincinnati.
H. Another Claysmith 13.5g slugged plastic chip variation -- see write-up for D.
I. 10g Scroll ceramic. A lower-tier ceramic chip product line with known quality issues regarding print quality, flatness, and material composition leading to edge chipping and chip breakage.
