So I was lucky enough to recently pick up the chips in the photo below from @JWC. I want to build a set around them.
My idea is to have a mixed mold (no mold duplicated) set, with all chips coming from the same era (1950s-1960s, ish), and none of the commonly collected molds (no RHC, THC, scrown, lcrown).
My question to the history buffs with more knowledge of older molds than I have (which isn't difficult, I have none) -- what molds should I be looking for? I'm ready to do a chip guide search/review, but would love some ideas of what molds to look for.
I'd love to find $1s and $5s in colors that work with these fracs -- perhaps all hotstamped. But what I'm really asking about is JUST the mold options out there.
Thoughts?
THANK YOU!
