Trying to find these chips. (1 Viewer)

[JoeyKnish]

Hi everyone,

My friend inherited his Dad’s poker chips and he would like to add to the set. He has no idea where his dad had them made (they have his initials on it).

I’m reaching out here as this is likely the only place anyone would be able to help.

The chips have a “plastic” feel to them.
Here is a pic.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Joe

Strange. Those look like paranoid-style vintage clay chips from all the way back in the 1930s. But if they feel plastic, maybe something that copied the design?

I googled paranoid-style and came across “Bakelite” chips that look similar and use the same chip tray and briefcase as his.

Is there any place that these can be re-created?

Thanks!

I see chips just like these on eBay all the time including the same letter, color, and basic chips design. This is just an example from a super quick search. The R looks slightly different. If you do find small batches on eBay I would encourage you to reach out to the seller to see if they have more and can deal.

I don't think so.
