"The poor chipper's Lakeshore Inns"?

...only jk I absolutely love my Caminos!

This poll follows a series specifically focused on set inlays, but I thought it was often diffcult to ignore the clay (or else) around them. So let's vote on the whole thing this time (inlay, edge spots, colors, etc)!

Why I like them so much: the simplicity of the inlay, the edge spots, the choice of colors (love the $20!!) - nothing spectacular when you take each element on its own, but put together, I think it all works perfectly. It is one of those instances where boring is great. But boring isn't going towork for everyone I guess?

And btw, I am not necessarily trying to compare them with the Lakeshores, but it is hard not to use them as a benchmark for Cali sets when there seem to be such a broad consensus in the community about how good they are (I believe for all the right reasons ).

- I couldn't find a good/high quality picture of an original quarter (link to the chipguide)
- The top left picture of the 50c is not mine
- Last edit: added the quarter

I’d rate it lower with that 0.50 in the mix, I don’t think it works well with the rest of colors in the set

with you there. I think an Indian Blue frac would have made it better for example!

My original idea was to mill a peach/arc yellow-ish starburst as a frac but I think the red frac I have works better

3. I don't love the green frac with this set. I don't care for the edge spot flow from the 1 to the 5.

I really like the blaze orange (is this right?) edge spots on the $1 think it would have been better had they been 314

This could become a set improvement thread I like it! I like how the Karl’s $5 (now Karl’s silver club) fit in the line up...

I am using a cherry red quarter for my set (which I think is close to the original) and have an Indian blue 50c in the works with Gear.

I like the red frac a lot better. I think the Camino one still works better. I don't love the shared yellow'ish colors with Karls Silver Club and the Camino 5
