Never Seen these Paulsons (1 Viewer)

Came to the conclusion that these are either fake or some early prototypes. I do like the cases these come in.

Anyone have some more information on these “Vintage” chips.

Fake if I recall

 

[rustycheerio]

yeah someone posted these on eBay or craigslist a few months back.
another user mentioned they are plastic injected fakes or something along those lines. you can tell by those holes within the a few hats.

Yeah, i noticed that too, from the aging on these, it appears fakes have been around for a while.

Unless they've been baking in the sun for a summer for the "Aging" look.

Not paulsons. Good old 'hat no cane'

 

[rowlin]

I’ve seen these called Hat No Cane around here, so there should be more info available via search. They are cheap, injection-molded plastic chips.

Yep.

Maybe to put some whisk(e)y bottlels on them in a poker room?

Plastic. Avoid.

Thanks for clearing up the mud, pals!

Free cane with purchase over $100

When and why did we quit carrying canes around as a society? Used to be quite fashionable, probably has something to do with fending animals off in the streets, like horses.

Very fashionable

These were made for sale in souvenir shops in vegas. There was another version (packaged in the same box) that had house mold logos from some casinos. I think they literally took impressions from paulson house mold chips, though I doubt they had permission: best pic I can find (from antiquegamblingchips.com)

Obviously not worth much. They are very light, no slugs, but the plastic is actually really nice. Almost a ceramic feel with a matte finish. Maybe ABS with a surface treatment or lots of filler? They don't feel like any other injection molded chip that I know of. They'd shuffle great if they weren't so light.

Both versions come up on eBay often. I have some that I use as lammers.
