T.R. king small crown (1 Viewer)

I found my mother's set of old poker chips I know they are from at least the 1960s and I'm looking online and I can't really find anything except that RT King chips one side is monogrammed the other side has dollar amounts. Does anybody know what year they are?

Here's some info about the TR King company.

Interesting that you're missing that 5th tray

 

[Thomacetti]

Very nice chips, congrats.

Welcome aboard, nice chips. I don’t know what year they were made but sometime in the 60’s seems right. I actually bought one of your $100’s last night.

Those light blues look amazing! Would be interested if you decide to sell them.

It’s almost definitely a Lowe case. I’d look for a broken or beat up Lowe case on eBay, just for a replacement tray. Those 500 chip Lowe cases aren’t very common - very cool!

I feel like I’ve seen these pictures somewhere before, just a feeling

Here you go $26 or less shipped and you’re good to go.

If these were your mother's chips and you are selling them, I hope you have a damn good reason. I threw up a little when I read this.

 

[Mae]

Yes I do however it's weird that somebody would say that not knowing me and my mother's relationship. I have a hundred more items that are dear to me

Suppose she were a degenerate gambler, bringing heartache and sorrow to her family for decades. Would you approve then?

Probably not. But hey, not mine.

I have my grandma's chips that I learned to play poker on. They arent going anywhere.

A very important Greek lady, lyrics writer for immortal "folk" or "pop" songs (no exact equivalent) was an addicted gambler, playing 4-handed 5-card stud.
She sold her husband's official dress uniform (he was a a Police Colonel and he found out on the eve of a national holiday, when he was supposed to be wearing the official uniform).

Things mean different things to different people. Just because we value chips, poker and gambling in general doesn’t mean anything to Joe Public. If they can put the money they earn from the chips to a better use, isn’t that a better way to honor their mother?

This IS a poker chip community correct? Surprised my little comment is so controversial.

Fuck, sell 'em, I don't care. However, if you were my brother and I found out, I'd sock you one.

I believe that your chips might have been originally sold by T. R. King to Albert H. Loeb, 1525 Skylark Lane, Los Angeles, California in several orders between 1967 and 1970. There were a lot more chips than what you have in that photo.

If you submit a scan of one or more of your chips to the ChipGuide, it is likely that copies of the original order cards would be posted there along with you chips. http://www.chipguide.com/

Makes sense we lived in the San Fernado Valley until 1980. Thank you I will try that

Did you quote the wrong post?? I’m not the seller.

Don’t worry, he’s just poker chip raging…

No. I thought at first this thread was just "show and tell". They are chips worthy of showing off for sure.

I think I am coming off more serious than I actually am. I am a half hearted "chipper" at best, in comparison to the average collector here.

If they were my mom's, I would feel a deep attachment to them and would never sell. However, my mom is a saint, unlike the gambling degenerate that you all are making the OP's mother out to be.

Other than that, it's a Sunday...it's 32F and RAINING, and the last football game was a blowout. What else to do but accidentally piss people off on the interwebs.

OK, thank you. Wasn’t sure why he threw up because I bought one on eBay last night. I didn’t even see this thread till this morning.

Hi Jeff, I did send a picture of the chip, did you find out anything more?

Yes, I uploaded the photos of your chip to the ChipGuide, and added three T. R. King cards there (link below).

I thought that I sent you an email when I posted those cards last week.

I'm currently a ChipGuide administrator (for the state of California) , and I have permission to upload to the ChipGuide the T. R. King cards for any chips uploaded to the Guide.
