I have a few of these in my collection. At the moment, the only casino that I think currently has them in play is the Hyatt Regency Tahoe (alas, I did not know it was there when I visited Tahoe last year).

Anyway, my question: does anyone know who manufactures these brass core chips? Did the same company make them for all the different casinos that have used them in the past (i.e. Stateline Wendover, Harrah's Tahoe, etc.), or are their different companies with this capability?

I ask because I would like to have a set of custom poker chips made. Right now I would like to incorporate a design I originally had made for my signet ring. However, I don't think it would be a significant enough design element for a full colour/full graphic chip (like a Chipco). However, on the simpler design of a brass core chip I think would be great. However, I don't know who makes the brass chips, if they do custom (non-casino) work, and/or if the price would be cost prohibitive.

Any information/leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
