Identifying manufacturer? (1 Viewer)

[RagahRagah]

Somewhat dumb but hopefully common problem. Anyone accumulate so many random samples you lose track of many you disregard and eventually rediscover some and realize a chip you now don't remember the manufacturer of has grown on you? Happened to me.

The specific chips in question are a sample set of San Juan Intercontinental BJ style chips. Only reason this might be an issue is because I know a lot of companies do replicas. In either case after finding this sample set they have grown on me significantly and I am contemplating getting some. But obviously I have to know if I am looking for the real thing or replicas.

So general questions for the chip savants:

1. Are the actual BJ versions of these chip V7 or V8? I've seen conflicting information on this and the sample set I have definitely feel different than the BJ V7s I have and I definitely like how they are and I don't want or need an exact same chip set with a different design.

2. Is there any sure fire way to identify who makes them? Again, I figure these might be replicas as I apparently got them in a random sample set.

If these questions can't be answered I can seek a sample set of the for sure real thing to try to help me figure it out but obviously if I don't need to and someone has the knowledge I seek that would be quicker and more preferable.

Pic 1 is stock photo, pic 2 is the chips I have in hand. Probably the same, lol.

Thanks!

1. What @RocAFella1 said, weighted Bud Jones S2 chips (unweighted S2’s are also a thing).
2. Years and years of experience, easiest just to ask the chipes xberts here.

My guess is that the ones I have are the same, I just wish I could remember where I got the samples from. Any chance anyone might have an exact idea who could provide these?

IIRC @TheChipVault sold these, there are plenty here in the community. Best to post a WTB.

Btw, the higher denoms are actually oversized chips, IIRC V8.

If they are for sure the same, cool. I was worried these were potentially replicas and wouldn't feel the same and I would bet surprised by something that felt different if I ordered them. Which makes me wonder where the hell I got these samples from.
