Hi Chippers!
My first purchase has been completed, and I must say I'm thrilled! The set that Chris Hendrix sold me from this board is stellar! It is just what the doctor ordered, and will be perfect for corrupting my nieces and nephews with my recently acquired "Nevada Dice" Craps table.
Anyway, I know it's a long-shot, but I was wondering if any of you folks have another identical set that you might be willing to part with? All I really need are the red (deep burgundy, actually) chips. Hoping to find 100-300 of 'em, so I can run a real good $5 game for six or more at a time. The chips I'm looking for are the burgundy ones in the lower right of the attached pic. You may have to lighten your display to get a good look at them. The set is thought to be at least 50 years old, from the Illinois area (but you never really know where they came from!). The chips measure 1 1/4", are flat surfaced, with rounded edges. The box and rack are somewhat thrashed, and if somebody had a nicer, complete set I'd be interested to add the two sets together...
Don Lueders has provided me with a sample of micro-chips, that measure 7/8" in diameter. He identifies them as Anchor Poker Chips, in a green box, 100 count. If I can find somebody willing to part with a few sets of these, this would also be a viable option for stocking this game, so I can properly corrupt my nieces and nephews... As with the bigger chips, I'll need more reds; so if you got 'em, I want 'em! *The colors of the micro (7/8')chips are the same shades as the larger set (creme(middle of pic), burgundy(lower right in pic), and dark green(upper right in pic) -so perhaps the larger set was produced by Anchor as well???
