These chips have me stumped! (1 Viewer)

[LostTreasures]

It's always a crap shoot trying to identify chips that aren't in the Chip Guide, but I've been doing my best. I'm going through a large group of chips "non-approved" gambling establishments, mostly in Illinois in the 1930s and 1940s. I've been able to identify all but these five and would be most grateful if any of you can shed light on where they came from. Thanks in advance!

This is true.

The mold designs Tommy pushed you towards is the route. Take about 5 min. You can match the mold and see years made and history on em.

I'd start at MD-92, count the knots, and go from there.

I may have to do some updates as I don't like how that looks now on mobile.
