Old West Poker Supplies hybrid customs. (1 Viewer)

[Pete]

So, I'm thinking about going with Old West Poker Supplies for a set of customs using their hybrid chips. They really do a nice job with custom plaques and dealer buttons which I'd add as well. I seen this photo of a custom set (PCF member?) in their gallery that I fell in love with!

Looks like they could design a Bud Jones V7 type of look for me no problem.

I'm looking for feedback (and photos of course!) from PCF members who have ordered hybrid customs from Old West. Sal from OWPS seems to be very supportive of this great community of Chippers and a good guy in general so I'm sure he would be a pleasure to deal with customer service wise. Any thoughts and opinions (and pron!) regarding their custom hybrid chip work is greatly appreciated!

edit: Ooops, I posted this in Mock Ups & Design rather than Custom Poker Chips General. Mods, please move the thread if need be.

i didn't prefer that particular mold. the quality is there & the chips are nice. it seems like there was a big impetus towards jumbo inlays a few years back & that figured in to the design of these. i like the more recent mold w/ more "shoulder" & less inlay

the lower right is the new mold & you can see the inlay is still generous compared to a couple of CPCs

I believe @CraigT78 did his customs with old West.

I bought a sample set. They are nice. Not sure how shuffling chips would wear on them over time.

I assume just like a chipco chip.

Good luck with your customs.

Thanks for the comparison photo as I was curious about the inlay size. I'm not a huge fan of larger/oversized inlays myself so If the chip on the bottom right is the hybrid OWPS currently uses then thats encouraging.

I presume Sal can get blanks from SUN-FLY in both 39mm and 43mm in that new mold (they both take the same size label.)

Thanks Kyle! Not many shufflers at my home games other than myself and one other fella so not too worried about the Chipco like ring wear.

And thanks for referencing @CraigT78. I clicked on his profile and was able to see some photos of his custom OWPS set. His appear to be full ceramic chips rather then hybrids. They came out great! The colours are really nice and the graphics are sharp. (y) :thumbsup:

Just so I'm understanding correctly:

There is currently only one inlay size option to choose from on both 39mm & 43 mm OWPS hybrids?

 

[dimperdoo]

no, he shows a 25.4 inlay on a 39 & a 31.7 on a 43 in his online store

idk if he would have the new mold available or not

I went with GOCC for my customs as an FYI. @Kyle

Thank you for the clarification. Really nice custom ceramics regardless. (y) :thumbsup:

I just got some Starburst bounties on hybrids from OWPS. Turned out great! Like 'em enough that I'm pondering a full set using the hybrids.

That turned out great! Did you go with the 25.4 inlay or the 31.7 sized inlay?

Sun-Fly has four different hybrid chip blanks - two 39mm, and two 43mm, each with different diameter label recesses. OWPS offers three of them. See link below:

This Taj tribute thread has a lot of helpful information. Thanks for posting the link!

25.4 mm inlay on the 39 mm chip. Seemed like the closest match to the regular starburst chip.
