Found some wierd vintage jetons locally today. Injection molded plastics for sure, light weight. Very visible injection marks on most of them. Bright nice colors, and hotstamped!
I've not seen anything like it before, but I'm also not very well versed in older European style chips.
Anyone seen anything similar?
The seller told me he had purchased them from a thrift store here in Oslo about 25 years ago. Didn't know anything about them. There are a couple different stamps, but all seems to be linked to a couple of hotels around Norway.
On a somewhat unrelated note I'm surprised to find something like this at all, as gambling is not allowed in Norway and has not been since I've been playing poker at least (15+ years). Guess I need to dig into gambling 30+ years ago in Norway. Maybe it was a thing then.
Some photos here. In piles sorted by stamps. Came in some fun wooden boxes as well.
