weird set of clays (1 Viewer)

[Silver_Fiend]

I found these listed super cheap, looked good in the pics, so I took a gamble. They came in today and they're a head scratcher. They are absolutely clays. No mold, no label, no stamp and dont look to have ever been used. Just a couple chips shy of 250 each black and orange. Its an old school orange, very close to my Burt diamond mold chips but not exact. They have a very fine texturing over the surface which makes them stack insanely firm. Most of them were packed in these equally odd chip racks which only hold 15 per barrel, and the rack width is super tight if they actually get pushed down in. Its almost like the racks were made for something about 37mm instead of 39.

Anyway, curious about your thoughts or knowledge about these.

Textured no mold/plain mold blanks would be my guess.

Half are black and the other half are orange

All the black appear to be round. And the orange also appear to be round.

Very astute! This is very helpful information!

Those are slot coin racks. I do know that. Look like ASM no mold solids to me.

Looks like at least one chip has scratches on at least one side; I’d toss ‘em.

yeah, probably right.

Oh well, you dont win every gamble, into the trash they go!

Cool chips. Hit up @AK Chip for some hot stamping...but may be awhile, I was reading earlier he's planning to go on a bit of a bender.

These are ASM or Burt no-molds. They printed many solid blanks with no labels for what I am guessing is home poker sets. I bought a mis-identified set of these off eBay for cheap a couple years ago (only bidder) then flipped them here to somebody and made $10. Because there is no mold, when a regular person goes to sell these, they have NO IDEA what they have, or even how to look it up in an internet search.

So bizarre…. Why would they even make such a thing??

They stack like bricks and hot stamp like a dream. Always regretted not getting a set made before I sold my stamper.

Yeah, you could have some killer designs made for a hot stamp. So much area!

I've been trying to figure out how they could be used. They could be a halloween set, or a set based around your favorite sports team, if you were a fan of the OSU Cowboys, Oriels, Bengals, or the Flyers.

I think @Racer96 stamped some of these
