Introduction : A "refurbishment" project
Few months ago, I bought a small lot of roulette chips at @allforcharity 's. The chips are coming from the Club Cal-Neva (Reno, NV).
I had in mind a "refurbishment" project. The goal was to give these unexpensive chips a second life.
The hotstamps were quite worn and as I decided to not degrade the chips more than they are, milling them was not an option. So I decided to go with unlaminated labels at @Gear 's and stick them over the remaining worn hotstamps.
For the design, I initially thought about creating a "faux hotstamp" label but finally went into another direction: recreate the logo with the locomotive logo. You can see the design thread here.

The breakdown
This a small tournament set to accomodate maximum 6 players.
The breakdown includes enough chips for color-up and can cover 2 configurations:
- Freezout T20K (8/8/4/7/2)
- T10K (8/8/4/7) + 1 rebuy (2 x T5000)
I've also included bounties in the set.
Chips count:
- T25 x 50 (+ 5 spares)
- T100 x 50 (+ 5 spares)
- T500 x 25 (+ 5 spares)
- T1000 x 55 (+ 5 spares)
- T5000 x 20 (+ 5 spares)
- Bounty x 12 (+ 5 spares)

Nice. Solid chips are so sexy. Especially those yellows

 

[Beakertwang]

Here’s the (my) winning hand :



Nice 3-7-3 flop for my 2-7.

Thank's for this moment with friends.
CG with your mixt hotstamp was fun too.
I hope we will play soon.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

And even if they are used, they still stack very well, and they are very nice to play with.

I do not regret the buy @allforcharity ! I might just remove the label over stamp, mill them and put a laminated one. I’ll think about it.

 

[Odranoel77]

Next tourney we will be at @Bobb59 home.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

If I don't manage to sell them soon, they will be recycled (again).
This time, being milled and taking a 7/8" laminated label.

Reworked a little bit the design :

Time is ticking with one person interested in the set. I shall have an answer from the possible buyer today.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

These chips have been murdered.

The chips will be milled and relabelled.

Don't think about it. You won't regret it!

I did the same type of thing, did a label over. Then did an inlay re/re, and couldn't be happier!

Just do a few chips and if you like It, then do the whole set!

Very beautiful Kid! Super cool!

They have already been sent to the miller. ;-)

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

Milling is done and laminated labels have been stuck.
Last remaining step : re-oil them.

Good job @OlNoiShi !

 

[allforcharity]

Looks awesome!

I just love solids - the green 25 is great - very nice set that you built for yourself
