Who makes this? (1 Viewer)

Does anyone know what company makes this type of chip and if so, do they allow you to order custom chips?

Thanks!

EDIT: Looks like a Matsui Bud Jones upon second look to me, though the designs are similar:

Matsui:

Bud Jones:

You can definitely order Matsui chips directly, but not Bud Jones afaik @Pinball has done this a few times, as well there have been various group buys organized in the past through @Tommy @liftapint and maybe others.

If you're after high quality plastics, also check out the current Abbiati group buy being organized: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/injection-molded-chips-gb-2021.67475/

Thanks for the info!

I initially thought Budjones myself. After looking at the chipguide link below It looks like its their older chip. Looking at the other chips listed from the same time they also appear to be Bud Jones.

However, looking at all the current lineup they are definitely Matusi as @cpac stated.

Hope that helps. Ask more questions if you have any.

Upon second look, I think you're right about them being Bud Jones - it's the dots on the rolling edge that gives it away, plus the edge spots are squared off, while the Matsui ones are more trapezoidal...

Here's some Bud Jones from Europe - the mold on the $25 appears to be identical to the one in the OP:

@csobarton to answer the second part of your question. No, you cant get custom orders made by them. If you want custom chips similar to those you would need to approach Matsui.

If you are only interested in the aesthetic and not so much the feel, you also have the option to have customs made by Sun-Fly. They have a line of chips known as polyinno or more commonly referred to around here as ceramic hybrids. There are plenty of examples of customs made by Sun-Fly on the forum. The Boardwalks are a custom set that was designed as a tribute to Bud Jones chips from a famous casino similar in style to the chip you posted. Other Ceramic Hybrids customs that use that design style are the Old School / Union Station.
