Christy & Jones top hat & cane chips were made by the Burt Co up until the early 1970's, then Paulson took over that mold.
What you have looks like a sales/marketing sample. Very, very cool...have not seen one of them.

That’s what I’d say

HAT (NO CANE) -- 8 top hats. You can see the injection mold circle inside the top hat in the picture to the left. Not used for casino chips, for sure. I put the entry here in case anyone would ever mistake these for MD-76 and MD-77 just below.......... ............. I have the chips in red, blue and white for sale.

Tan chip in OP looks like it has canes.

HAT AND CANE (H&C CJ) -- top hat and cane, repeated 8 times. 1955-1965. Christy & Jones Co., Las Vegas NV. This H&C mold is very similar to the one above, MD-76. One difference is that the Paul-son H&C (for quite a while) was about 7 mm long while the CJ (Christy & Jones) H&C is about 9 mm long; the CJ ones have slightly taller hats, too. Unlike the Paul-son one, the CJ one usually has a shiny inside to the hat and a metal pellet inside the chip (X-ray it or take it apart)......Edge spots are another way to distinguish CJ chips from Paulson ones. The CJ edge spots have neat, smooth borders; the Paulson ones (but not the modern full and wide graphic ones -- see MD-76b, above) tend to be sloppy/uneven. The Paulson ones have convex ends, while the CJ ones are either straight, or --if the edge spots are a half inch or wider-- concave.

@WedgeRock the chips have canes, it’s just a poor res pic.

I have seen these chips before as singles but never all together in a salesman’s set like these. Definitely C&J manufacturer samples. Not sure what someone would pay for them but they are a cool old set.

My guess for value……. Maybe somewhere between 50 and 150 dollars depending on who wants them. That is just a guess though.

I think they all have canes, just hard to see, especially on the black chip.

Well, the C&J stamp also gave away that they might be C&J chips...

Wondering if the purple and yellow chips that show the address are just showing the reverse side and all have the logo on one side and the address on the other.

Definitely a cool find.

Legit. A small colour sample set? All the C&J I've had and handled were all solids.

Welcome!​

and thank you for sharing, this is a real treat, sorry for your loss.

Here is another photo of one of the chips front and back, all the chips are stamped the same, just different colors. They are also very solid and have some weight to them, they are not plastic

Christy & Jones manufacturer sample chip no doubt, probably pretty old (pre 1965 I think.) They were located in Kansas City, MO...

Show of hands:

How many people know that the "Jones" in Christy & Jones is none other than Bud Jones, who later started his own company?

We need a family tree diagram of all these companies. It seems like they are all related. Worse than the advertising industry.
