Hub mold chips were produced by Burt Co.

Mason & Co. did not manufacture clay chips.

Schooled. Thanks for clarification.

Texts from wife:

We had a weird mail day, 6 packages... one from Wales, one from California.

@timinater: "That is weird... I was expecting three more... One from Florida, one from Hawaii and one the England."

Hey Dave...not questioning you at all but just curious here. I have a few hundred of these hub mold clay chips in Mason & Co. boxes out of Chicago. Are these not the original boxes you think?

Just like a lot of chip distributors from that time. Lots of companies had chips mfg by Burt CO and sold /distributed under their name. Just like BC Willis never mfg chips but sold under their name.

Welcome to the fam.

First big mail pr0n in a long time:

The Bravo's Bar and Casino (Eatontown, NJ) was an impulse buy off FB Marketplace. Giant inlay on RHC, but it uses similar art to the VLV.

I wonder what the deal with the Bravos bar chips is. There wouldn’t have been a casino or a card room in Eatontown. That is the same showgirl image from the VLVs. Semi customs from Paulson? Any idea?

I never even considered airsoft/gun cases!
Might look into it, although cutting foam to fit chips has always scared me a bit...

They are a great option, for sure; will post a full video review soon on my YouTube channel. Yeah, I kinda screwed up the foam a little, so might end up ordering another one eventually — it's completely usable though, and just me being fussy!

Seller said that it was custom made for the business in question, only a very small set, though the quantities are weird enough to wonder if there aren't some more out there somewhere.

Correct. Several gaming supply companies sold chips made by Burt Co., often using a proprietary mold design available only to them. Most just slapped their own company label onto the blank boxes used by Burt to ship chips, although a few had custom boxes made instead.

60 days since this one was posted. Been in USPS limbo since Aug 24 when it stopped showing any signs of life, and then suddenly it popped up in the mailbox!

A few hours later...



...and a few more later again:

Huge thanks to @HaRDHouSeiNC for these (incl. the extra bacc!).

My Dunes singles display is now almost complete (except for $100 bacc that's still in the States, and the 39mm $1k which I'd already given up on even before @Windwalker scraped the whole Earth for whatever was left ).

[mattross1313]

My RHC cash set is soon to be departing US shores.....but until then, another small mail day here to help pass the time!
@Tienou59 kindly broke this off his sample set of Horseshoes. Quite possibly my favourite chip! The colours are excellent.
I can't wait for live games to start back up so i get to use my new card capper

 

[justincarothers]

More “barrel bites” than I expected but great chips for $.89

 

[PocketAces]

The start of new problems Thanks @tulkas ! Only need 10 more to finish a barrel
