Vintage molds set showcase (6 Viewers)

How does the flower mold feel and how much do they weigh? I’ve been curious about these. They all seem to have cross hatching, which reminds me of cheap plastic but their age and manufacturer would suggest clay right? Very nice mold.

They are definitely clay. They are on the lighter side. Mine are right at 8g.

I thought about relabelling the green ones as Dragonara quarters because the colors were a good match. And most of my Dragonara inlay chips are only about 8.5g. But that was back when I thought I needed 120-160 quarters, and I only have 90. I'm getting past that now as my last few games I've only been putting 60-80 quarters on the table, and the games are just fine with that number.

Unfortunately only 2 colors and same denom. Cool chips though and I will relabel some or possibly do a 5-10 limit set out of the hot stamps.

175 inlaid purple and the rest HS. All grey are inlaid.

I'm working on a vintage/mixed molds set and some of these are going to go in that set also.

I'll probably have a few extras lol.

When you figure out how many extras you have, give me a shout. I could see putting some of thes with the ones I already have to make a playable set.

Fantastic find!

Same here @colter ripton, would be happy to add some to my flower mold project that I have.

 

[Kasper Storrs]

Well looks like I need me some flower molds..

Colter has been generous enough to let me keep some to sell to cover my gas and time. That said, I'll let him sell off what he wants to, first.

Here is the mixed mold set I’ve been working on.

Going to be all inlaid and spotted and a bunch of different old molds. I’m planning on re-labeling them with a funky/fun label and using them for circus games.

I’m working on a mixed ASM mold myself and don’t have $5s yet. If you have any spares, lmk.

These are my $1s currently

Milled and unmilled chip. To mill something is to drill a recess in it.

Some extras showed up.

I’ve been on a major vintage mold sun run. It’s basically all I’m buying anymore. Seems like marketplace has more and more popping up.

The star crescents are thc and total bike tires.
Flower mold have “shaw” stamped in them.

The 5’s are flower mold with “pmcc” stamped.

The B over a bomb(?) are no mold. Not sure if they are clay or Bakelite.

 

[Kasper Storrs]

Love the flower molds man! What kinda weight do they typically have?

 

[Mushmanchuman]

They are light coming in at 8g’s.

First ever set of Elephant & Crown molds that I seen that weren’t on plastic chips.
These are tits-mint and crazy sharp. For some reason certain chips have a decimal after the numbers.

The guy I got these off of still has a shit ton of these chips… maybe I’ll get em all one day!

 

[GodStillBlesses]

My flower (floral) mold set. MD-72
The mold is (was?) owned by the game company George & Co, who sold these from their store. Chips were made by ASM, and it's predecessors I believe.

Rack each of 25c, 50c, $1, $5 (missing one or two chips unfortunately) + yellow, purple and gray GCK hotstamps.

Plan is to mill these for a tourney set, but not completely set in stone yet.

I sure could use some of the purple and yellow…… if interested in getting rid of them. Absolutely beautiful!

 

[AK Chip]

These are beauties!! not sure what I'm going to do with them but happy to have them.
