I’m looking for information, input, etc. on some of the chips in the scan below. The first chip is an old clay engraved poker chip: f. I’ve never seen one like this before. On page 293 of Seymour there are a few others shown, but in upper case letters. Mine appears to be a lower case letter.
The second is a clay engraved numeral poker chip: 18. I’ve seen numbers 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, etc. on engraved chips, but not a number that is not a multiple of 5. If anyone has any others I’d really like to see a scan.
The third chip is a rounded edge (I think the rounded edge inlaid chips are older than square edge chips.) inlaid card suit poker chip. I love these chips and would like to buy or trade for more of them.
The forth chip is a fancy engraved monogram. I’m trying for the complete alphabet in these chips. This will be very difficult as I believe there are several letters in this style that even Robert Eisenstadt doesn’t have. Again, I’d like to buy or trade for any extras anyone may have. So far I have A, D, E, M.
The last chip is an inlaid Black W (square edge) in the style of Seymour’s Code PO-AW. Curiously, I’ve only seen the letters L, M, & W in black in this style. This chip is . I’m always looking to buy or trade for inlaid single letter monogram chips in this style. Right now I’m working on the alphabet in white, red, & blue, and I’m only 13 letters short. Eventually I’m going to try the alphabet in every color known. If I live that long.
Single letter monogram chips are one of my favorite chip categories. I’ll buy or trade for inlaid, engraved, or hotstamped chips.
Thanks for looking.
